Hang tough, it gets better.
I've only had my CPAP a little over two weeks and the first night was awful, could only tolerate the mask about 3 hours. My DME rep who fitted me said to be patient and persistent. Everyone is probably different, but by the third night, I was able to sleep all night with the CPAP. My husband was overjoyed!

But it still is an up-and-down thing. Some nights are bliss, others are not so good, but after 20 years of sleep apnea, anything is an improvement and I expect it will continue to improve.
