They say it takes two weeks to get used to it all but I can't even make it through a night!.!.!. let alone a full 2 weeks and then forever!.!.!. any advice to help ease my frustration and getting used to the CPAP machine!? The mask I have now is a new type that just sits at the end of your nostrils!.!.!. the one I had at the sleep clinic fit over your whole nose!.!.!. I don't know what's best!. Any suggestions!?

It is important to make CPAP a part of your everyday life!. It should be used at night for sleep, as well as for planned naps!. The treatment only works if it is used!. CPAP is the last thing that is put on at night and the first thing that is taken off in the morning!.
Getting used to the CPAP machine is different for each person!. Some people may put the CPAP mask on the first night and wear it all night with great results!. Others may struggle from the start!. Most people fall in between these two extremes!. CPAP users normally need a period of adjustment!. Remember, CPAP is something that can improve your quality of sleep and life!. It does require cooperation on the user
