P.S. -- I use a BiPAP set at 13/17 and I really don't notice the noise produced by the Breeze. However, I go sleep with the TV on--set to go off after a little while. I guess that would not work for you, but do you think that you could listen to some type of appropriate music while you go to sleep? That might help. If that would not work, maybe you could set up some "white noise" by having fan or something else turned on? That might take your focus off of whatever delivery system you might gravitate to, long enough to get to sleep. (BTW, I don't use the ramp up feature-- that seems too suffocating to me. I know some others, especially when they are just starting out, like it though.)
