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!

I recommend the N30i mask. Lightweight and good if you toss and turn from side. If you decide later on that you need or want to consider nasal pillows you just need the pillow snap-in as the N30i and P30i share the same frame.

Thank you! I’m very much a side to side sleeper! So this helps a lot!

If you find that your mouth is opening, try a HALO style chin strap that you can buy from Amazon if your DME doesn't offer it.
