If you've tried 6 masks in 3 months, you may not be giving yourself enough time to get used to this new thing in your life. It does take time. Months, very often, to kind of settle into it. The machine and mask drove me crazy at first, but now I actually like it. It has become a signal for my brain that it's time to go to sleep. Try a mild sleeping pill to see if that helps with these early months. Ambien is offering a free 7-day sample right now. Find their web site and print the form for the free sample so your doc can write a presciption for it. Hang in there -- it'll be worth it. Best wishes!
