Thanks WiredGeorge I didn't even notice that it created that nickname. Well last night was my 3rd night and I'm still exhausted and feel like I haven't slept at all. My wife said she was up 3 times last night and I wasn't snoring which I normally do very loudly. I woke up about 30 minutes before my alarm this morning so I thought that was a good sign but as soon as I started to drive to work I began yawning and its been a rough day. My resmed app says I scored 100 last night. I got 7 hours and 40 minutes of sleep. Perfect seal, and only .6 events per hour. The previous nights I scored a 96 and a 95. Everything adds up that Im sleeping great between my wife's comments and the app so it doesn't make sense to me. I'll still give it till Monday and if I come to work tired Monday I will be calling. Some additional notes... My machine is set at a 5 and ramps to 10 when it knows I'm sleeping. I remember the Doctor saying that 10 was the setting during my sleep lab test where my oxygen levels and events were the best. I also have a humidifier on my machine. The technician started it at 4 but it felt like a cool mist blowing on my nose and that irritated me. Also I felt water in my mask so I put it to a setting of 1 last night. Fingers crossed that I can wake up refreshed soon!

Thanks for the reply. Im going to give it a week before I get too worried. If I still feel this tired after a week I will contact my sleep doc and maybe get in to see him sooner than the 2 month followup. I will say that I notice that I am not flipping from one side to the other as much without the machine so I'm holding out hope that I will still get that refreshed feeling soon.

I have been using my resmed air 10 machine for 2 nights now. I was exhausted all day yesterday and yawning all the way home from work. I had to go right to bed as soon as I got home and I took a 1 hour nap. I logged into the resmed app this morning and it says ive scored 95 and 96 so Im concerned that Im not feeling refreshed and wide awake. This morning I woke up after 7 hours of sleep and felt immediately tired like I haven't slept all night. I feel like I am handling the nasal mask well. My wife says I need to give it some time but if the app is saying I basically slept great I feel like I should be seeing the results. It would make me feel better if someone that actually uses a machine could tell me if this is normal and to give it some more time.

Thanks
