Slim, your mask should more or less "float" on your face without having tighten it so much. Loosen it some, when you have everything set up (i.e., your mask on, your C-PAP on full force and connected), pull your mask slightly away from your face and put it back in place. This sometimes help get a better seal. With waking up at the same time each night, it's probably a habit which you will have to break. Get up and go to the bathroom if you feel the need instead of just laying there. I find that when I can't go back to sleep, if I get up and read or something, I will get tired again and can go back to sleep. Ask your doctor about short term sleeping medication if the other things don't work. Wish you well.
