How long have been been using CPAP?  This is quite common when people are getting used to CPAP; don't worry about it and you will get over it

PERHAPS TRY TAPING THE STRAPS TO YOUR FACE WITH A TAPE THAT WILL WAKE YOU UP WHEN IT IS TAKEN OFF.

Heh, Bearded One, great advice!

I, too, am new to CPAP therapy, but at least for me, raising the pressure slightly has helped immensely.  That, and I think the whole "getting used to it" helps too.  I went from 9 to 10, and now I have been consistently sleeping through the night, no waking up 3 hours into it and realizing I've ripped my mask off in my sleep.

I would suggest talking to your sleep doc and seeing about raising the pressure a bit--if that seems like a good course of action to your medical professional.  :)
