At our local AWAKE meeting last night, the Respironics rep there said dryness was the number 1 complaint among CPAP users.   I didn't expect that -- thought it would be mask leak or mask fitting or mouth breathing.  

My own #1 complaint is mouth breathing.  What is everyone's else's?

Hi Deborah, 

I could never make the chin strap work.  A full face mask kept getting pushed aside - as I am a side sleeper.  After months of trying many masks, etc. I have finally solved the probelm.  I put paper tape over my mouth (vertically)  I use a ResMed Mirage Micro nasal mask.  Because I have Central/Complex Sleep Apnea, I use a Respironics BiPap  autho SV with Encore Smart Card.  With all that equipment and controlled release Ambien, I FINALLY manage to  get at least five hours of continuous sleep.
