how is it going with your machine? my hub now seems to take his mask off every night at about 3 am
I do not understand why and was wondering if you do the same or anything?
I meen he was great with it all night for a month or longer but now right around 3 am off comes the mask and the snoring begins every night without fail. dont know what to do
hope you and your family are all doing well.

I have been using it most of the time but other times I am finding myself taking it off just to lay on my side more comfortably. What kind of mask is your hubby's? I think the nasal mask it definitely more comfortable then the full mask so maybe it's a case of getting another style mask. I definitely feel it though when I have taken it off at 3-4 am, I feel less rested and a little edgier. I have been trying to be better about it and leave it on and just fiddle with the pillow a bit and get it to where I can sleep on my side and still have the mask on.

I hope y our hubby gets back into the swing of using it, I know I will be keeping the machine because it's really helping me to feel better, so maybe if he's acting a little edgy ask him how he's feeling and maybe he will come to the realization on his own that he feels better with the machine then he does snoring and sleeping. It's got to be difficult for you to have to listen to it again, I really feel for you. I think I have taken mine off a total of seven or eight times altogether and when it happens that I wake up I am telling myself I'll feel bad if I take it off so I am more prone to leaving it on.

I wish you and he the best of luck with getting some restful sleep soon. He has to be feeling the difference of not using it like I know I feel when I have taken it off. I hope he hangs in there, I definitely think it's well worth the effort to use this device or I would have given up on it by now.

*sigh* I am so tired today, I was upset about something yesterday and was crying a good amount in the early afternoon and it affected my ability to wear the mask last night. I woke up about 2am and took off the mask because I was having trouble sleeping. Also my chin strap is slipping while I sleep so I wake up and the darn thing is not holding my chin up and I am waking up because the force of the air through my throat comes out the open mouth.

I put it back on around 4 am when I woke up again snoring and my mouth was so dry, I went to the bathroom and then laid back down with the chin strap a nd headgear in place and now this morning I am pretty tired even though I have had coffee already. Just thought I would post about this here so you'd see that it's possible that he will get tired of the dry mouth problem and be motivated to wear the mask again because that takes care of that horrible dry throat/mouth feeling and it's the only thing I have ever had work to get rid of that horrible feeling like my tongue is paper.

Hope you got some good sleep last night BMW. Hope all is well. Let me know how it's going okay?

my hub has the full mask and needs it cus his mouth hangs open and he snores like a train heck I dont even think he breaths threw his nose !!!!. sorry to hear about your yesterday. been having a ugly time lately myself. so lets just both scream at the problems we are having ...scream real loudly ready........

ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHH !!!!!!! catch ya on the flip side pal.

I agree, let's yell! ARGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! WAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! UUUUUUUUGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

What do you know I feel better!?!

Hope your hubby can come to terms with using the machine on his own, it really is a night and day difference, so maybe he'll come to his own understanding about not wanting to wake up with a dry mouth and throat, that is a good part of what motivates me to use it. Not waking up with a yucky feeling down my throat and mouth.

ha ha last night bad train snoring...I went with my little blue pillow and slept in the bathroom. if my tub was bigger I bet it would make a good bed. I would of taken couch but my kids had friends sleeping over and they takeover the living area. Moms Rule we give up more then they know about!
