I hear that. My wife used to get upset with me because I would fall asleep in a chair watching television, straining my bad neck, and waking often from the apnea. When I went to bed and put the mask on, I couldn't get back to sleep. So we moved the machine downstairs, and I used it while awake, sitting in a recliner & watching the tube. It helped me get used to it, and if I fell asleep, it was ok, and better sleep because the machine was already on. Eventually we were able to move the machine back upstairs, and while I may still wake up from the pain, it's not from the machine.

Default machine

my experience with the machine is i can't get to sleep and if and when i do doze off i wake up with nightmare that the machine is strangling me and i am pulling it off. the luxury of giving it 3-4 weeks is for those who do not have to drive and work. not sleeping makes me dangerous to be around. for one thing sleepwalking gets worse and then i might pick up a weapon and use it on someone in the house with me. and, like dr smith, the docs don't believe me when i tell them i sleepwalk. they did not even believe when they saw it on video because the brain waves were not what they expected. docs can be a close minded bunch. now that i have thyroid cancer all i have to do for insomnia is forget my meds. sleep like a baby. wonder if the insomnia was the cancer all along.
