How long did it take you guys/girls to get comfortable with your machines and start sleeping better?
My sleep has been little to zero the last 9-10 years (wake up 10-20 times a night and the first 15-30 mins of every day felts like I am severely hungover/hit by a truck). I have exhausted every option I can think of including teas, medication, sleep studies, diet, mouth guards and etc. I received a APAP machine in February and I have yet to make longer than 3-4 hours through the night wearing it. Very uncomfortable is a massive understatement and when it takes away the little sleep I actually can get it I essentially do not want to wear it. In turn I would guess I have only worn it maybe 30-35 nights since I received it and probably have never strung together more than 4 nights in a row because it makes nights so miserable. I have changed mask three times and had the company remote change settings 2-3 times along with myself changing setting to try and help.
All that being said I am trying to see if I haven't even scratched the surface on the "trial" portion of this machine to really even have a idea on if it will work or not. Would love to be able to sleep again and be able to tackle days rested rather than exhausted and groggy day in and day out. However, if there is no solution it is what it is and just need to change my perspective and make due with what I get.
As always I appreciate the info and help.
