I was diagnosed with sleep apnea 2 years ago. I use a CPAP and sleep all night long, first time in years. It does take some time adjusting, but give it a chance - it works miracles. Try the pillow mask and give it a good try, it is better than the full face masks, make sure you rinse it out everyday and keep it clean. I put my machine on the floor and I don't have to worry about pulling it off of a nightstand. Good Luck!
