are you sleeping through the night with the machine and mask on?
I'm sleeping all night with both on.

I would suggest you get your smart card data off your machine, either from your doctor or buying the software and card reader yourself. then you can understand whether you're being treated with cpap, but not being treated effectively . . .your profile says you have the M Series -- I'm hoping it's the M Series Pro that has a smart card in that back that records efficacy/compliance data?

Yes, it does have a smart card....the pro series. I go back to my doctor in early August to get the card read.

I just got my CPAP June 10th, so I'm a newbie too.
I've found that I'm having adjustment problems -- the machine, the settings, the right mask, etc., etc. Almost everyone does, I've learned. That said, I have also had some good night's of sleep. Not enough, but at least I realize there is light at the end of the tunnel.
Everything I've read notes that if one has a big sleep debt -- and I do: severe apnea for over a decade -- it takes a while. The reason: One must begin by "paying off" the debt.
I've learned from others on this board -- and Mike has made this point very well -- how useful and important it is to get reliable information on how many apnea/hypopnea events you're having every night. I'm seeing my doctor and the tech tomorrow to learn how to do this. I learned about that from this board, for which I am grateful.
There's lots to learn and there's a learning curve. You've started moving up the curve. Keep moving!
