I had difficulty adjusting to it. I spent too much time thinking about my breathing and trying to fall asleep, which only made me frustrated. It's only when I gave up and stopped thinking about it that I adjusted and was able to fall asleep.

I've seen recommendations that you try wearing it for a while while awake. (I suggest reading a book or watching TV, so you get used to the idea of using it without thinking about it.) I didn't try that because I thought my initial trial went well. That decision was probably a mistake.
