Sorry, more detail :

basically my situation is C

I can't get to sleep at all with the mask on or i may sleep for a couple minutes and then wake up. I'm awake enough after a half hour to decide i will remove the mask. I am fairly certain the machine itself is working. I can understand the psychological component in "fighting the machine" and not wanting to use it, but shouldn't i be so tired at least some nights that i would fall asleep anyway despite not liking the mask/machine ?
