Same here, doydie.

Earl, try adjusting the humidifer setting, you just might need more humidity.

Try getting the adjustment comfortable for you before you fall asleep. If it's falling off you have it too loose. A snug fit will sometimes be better for comfort as well as for the humidity.

Hang in there, Earl. It can get better as you get the hang of the best fit for you and humidity.

Sometimes I need a higher humidity setting and sometimes the humidity setting needs to be lower.

I have also found if I use a face moisterizer before bed the mask fits better. I know, your going to tell me guys don't moisterizer but try it anyway
