    First of all, what the fuck is the cancer that is that web site.

    And secondly, I find it hilarious.

    If people think auto erotic asphyxiation is a rush, squeezing down on an unstable artillery shell has got to be next level.

    It’s like buttplug roulette.

    The Daily Mail is an absolute garbage dump of a newspaper. But sometimes it brings unintentionally funny.

    Tuesday night was my first night using a cpap. Went so much better than I anticipated. Slept better than I have for years. Still had about 14 apnea events which is significantly down. My Apple watch shows I was only awake for 5 minutes and that was likely when I had to get up to use the bathroom at 4am. I really thought it would be hard wearing the nose mask, but really only problem had I was the first couple minutes seems a bit heavy on the pressure, but the feeling did go away.

    Now how many more days until I feel like I slept all night? Woke up still fucking tired.

    I found it took about a week of good sleep to wake up feeling refreshed.

    As good as Tuesday night was, last night was the opposite. Fought all night feeling like I wasn't getting enough breath thru my nose. I did sleep but man it wasn't good sleep. I need to call customer service for the machine because both mornings around 4am it is a straight up wind storm coming out of the machine into my nose. Drying me out and waking my sleepy ass up.

    Weird. I have a Resmed Airsense 11, and it's awesome. Temp and humidity control is awesome.

    What make/model of CPAP do you have?

    I do know that I had to turn mine up a bit to get it dialed in properly. I found the sleep study I did got me close, but it wasn't right, because my sleep for that night was nowhere near normal.

    I hate the temp and humidity control. I run mine at none and none. It condenses in my noise and it just runs out so gross.

    Hubs has the same one as Nett but it took him about 9mo to get to the point where he was getting restful sleep. He got it through the VA so getting follow up care was basically impossible. He ended up needing extra large nose pillows which flare his nose a little during use, to prevent leaks.

    I had to keep kicking Mr B to get him to tinker and follow up about the machine because it seemed to make sleep worse for awhile, and trouble shooting while exhausted sucks. All I know is, I couldn't take another night hearing him choke to death over and over again. It works amazingly well for him now. Good luck.

    I manually set the tube temp to about 68 and the humidity is set to 2. That works for me.

    If I go any higher than that I have the same problem.

    Auto mode is the devil.
