Okay, someone said "light-headed"? There is a little bit of that. (heh, heh)

I woke up several times to adjust the mask due to leakage. Went to the rest room twice. Had to take mask off both times, obviously. I woke up twice with my mouth dry. I cannot decide whether my mouth was open or not. I'm taking it that it was. But only twice compared to always--that's not bad.

I slept about 10 hours over a12-hour night. Better than 12 over 13 or 14.

I am more awake today than I would ordinarily be. Sounds like this will be a process. I was hoping that it would be like the night I was titrated. (Woke up after 6 hours--blazing!!!)

I'm going to find out what the difference was between the machine I used for titration and the F&P 221 I just received.

Overall...it was better. I can only remember waking up about 5 times instead of every time I rolled over--which was frequent (several times per hour).

Many thanks to his forum for preparing me a little more than I would have been. The sleep specialist can only do so much. (No matter how good they are.)

I will now take any questions the press may have. ;-)
