Thanks SleepyTimeGal. That makes me feel better about my ability to adapt so far. For the first week or two I could only keep it on for a few hours and now I average about 5. For some reason the last few hours of the night are hard for me to keep the mask on. I have had pretty noticable sleep debt for about two years, so as you say, it may take awhile. One more question though, do you know anyone who has had success with the Pillar Implants? I posted this inquiry on the non-CPAP forum, but no responses. My Dr. recommends it, but ins doesn't cover it and success rates are very patient specific.
