why is nasal breathing better?

Posted by half-pint on September 30, 2002 at 07:32:13:
I've only been on CPAP for a month, but leaks seem to be getting worse, not better. Also I woke myself one night talking in my sleep - the air coming out my mouth woke me!
So I am thinking of trying other masks. And just want to understand exactly why is nasal breathing better??
