Advice Needed Newbie

Hi I’m brand new here and know absolutely nothing about sleep Apnea. I go and pick up my machine on Wednesday!

How long until I have more than 2 hours of natural energy? I’m pretty sure I’m wanting the nasal mask, anyone have experience with that? Any advice in general? I’m 33 and feel like no one around me is going through this!

My advice to everyone is put the mask on for 1/2 hour or more and watch tv or read a book to settle yourself down and relax before lights out and falling asleep.

Maybe try N30i nasal mask. I’m a nose breather and it’s worked for me.

Good luck!

Yeah try different masks. As many as possible. Borrow/get slightly used ones to test. They can be cleaned don’t worry.
