Never woke up with mask off.

This seems to be a common problem. Yet, I've been on CPAP nearly four years, and I have yet to awaken with the mask off. The closest I came was that the headband had nearly slipped off my head.

The solution for that problem - at least with the Ultra Mirage nasal mask medium size - was to put on the headgear on upside down as compared to the way suggested by the manufacturer.

Am I the only one who never had this problem?
