Try a nasal pillow (or nasal prongs) that don't cover your nose, they just rest on your upper lip. You should NOT tighten your mask that much; it sould just sit against your face. Don't worry about stopping every single leak. There will always be little leaks from time to time. Learn to live with them if it's not bad, or learn to adjust your mask position a little without waking yourself up too much. Good luck!
