I've used a full face mask for quite a while now, and never had an
experience like that. I have had a couple of times that I knocked
the mask off the hose, and I immediately wake up and find the
hose in my sleep. I'm very conscious of when there is not air
coming in. I do have trouble once in a great while if it's in the
wrong position, it will press down uncomfortably on the bridge of
my nose. I just wake, and move it up a bit.
