I've had my study and finally gotten my cpap machine. I have had 5 nights with the machine (a SomnoTech Trend 110 with heated humidifier). And truthfully, I don't have any problem breathing with it. The pressure doesn't bother me, I don't get all dried out, no headaches, so it's good. I'm using the Puritan Bennett Breeze SleepGear with the nasal pillows and really that doesn't bother me either, a little quirky at first but easy to adjust to.
What's bothering me is 2 things. When I turn over, I wake up due to the hose being in the way, which may just take longer to get used to. The SleepGear itself isn't bothering me. I have the hose strung over the head board, but just it being there when I turn is enough to wake me. Has anyone had a similar experience and did it just get better? Is there something I can try?
The second this is the noise when the seal breaks (another issue with turning). I normally sleep with a fan on, so I'm used to some noise - maybe not right on my face - but noise just the same. The Breeze is sort of a minimalist approach to a mask so it can shift slightly during the night, which causes it to pop out and I get this whooshing noise, which wakes me.
Neither of these issues is keeping me from using the system. When I get enough sleep, the thing I notice is that I don't feel so foggy during the day. But the continual waking is keeping me from get enough sleep. Any suggestions?
Thanks!
