Kat,

I, too, am a midnight masked marauder. The mask works, plain and simple. Turns out I was waking myself up every 20-30 seconds preventing any hope of REM sleep. To add my two cents, I suggest you force them to prescribe a heated humidifier to the CPAP. This will avoid dryness and/or frozen sinuses.

Sleep apnea manifests itself in all kinds of health problems. Any snorers should goggle up an apnea test...it only takes two minutes.
