I was prescribed the remstar w/ the humidifier and use the breeze sleep gear.  I have not had a good night sleep since I started using this, and it has been a week exactly.  I can fall asleep with in 15 minutes or so but then I wake up between midnight and 1 am.  The dr. said I would gradually get used to it but when I wake up I end up taking off my mask for a while and then put it back on and try to fall asleep.  well last night was the worst of all.  I fell asleep and as usual, was back up at midnight.   never could fall asleep.    So I ended up taking off the mask and nodding off for a few minutes but never did completely fall asleep  and I feel so tired and worn out this morning.  Is this normal.  I mean, I know the dr. said to gradually get used to it, but i think I only use the machine for 4 to 5 hours nightly tops.  I have taken a sleeping pill to help but it doesn't.  

any suggestions out there for me?

thanks

I am sorry to hear you are having problems.  Have you tried to use some "white" noise such as a radio or tv or even one of those machines made just for the white noise sounds?  I have heard that this helps.  I use a tv set with a timer to shut off at a certian time.  This helps.  Also have you checked your mask to ensure that it is fitting correctly?  This may be waking you up.  I hope that you find relief soon.

I was nuts by the time i adjusted, I think it took 2 months or more to keep from yanking mask off. I didnt think i was going to be able to hack it I think it may have been closer to 3months. I fought with the doctor and dme all the people here just wanted $. One morning i woke up with the mask still on, everyonce in a while i will wake up without it on but rare now. I hope u get used to it.
