I went yesterday and picked up my machine from the provider. I am now the owner of the remstar m series Auto with humidifier. I had a few leaks last night but overall it was awesome! I slept for about 10 hrs and only awakened 2 or 3 times.2 times to tighten mask and one bathroom break,oh yeah and my wife gently closed my mouth once. my AHI was 5.8 last night. I hope everything stays as great as this! I felt a lot better today that's for sure.

Great you had a good night!  And 10 hours!!!!!  Sounds like you will have to keep an eye on the mouth opening...hopefully you can train yourself to keep it closed.  There are several tricks on the help forum that you can try....the wife isn't always going to catch it.  But, overall sounds like you are not going to have a lot of issues gettting use to it!

I am soooo jealous!!

Last night was my second night on CPAP.  I slept 6.5 hours and did not wake once; however, this morning, I was just as exhausted as I always am.  I'm so frustrated because I expected to get an excellent night's sleep the first night!

10 hours is great!

Not everyone has a quick turnover like this. I have been on CPAP about 1 1/2 Months and am finally starting to feel better. For some it just takes time to get used to the mask.
