Agreed...the masks can take a while to figure out. It's a lot of
trial and error unfortunately. But once you find a winner, it's
worth the search.

W/ re: to the sleep study this Saturday...make sure he doesn't
nap at all during the day or have any caffeine (I remember how
insanely difficult this was) but it will probably help him sleep.
Also, have your husband's doc talk to the lab before hand and, if
there are no contraindications, perhaps a sleeping pill would
help if needed. I never wanted to take one for fear it would alter
the results of the test, but I was told several times at sleep
studies that it's more important to sleep.
