CPAP Troubles

Hello all. I'm new to this board. I found out I had sleep apnea a little over a month ago and have had my CPAP for about a month now. The 1st few nights were just as the sleep therapist predicted. I got through about half the night and then had to take the mask off. After about a week I was able to make it throught the whole night with it on. Then all of a sudden one morning I woke up and somehow the mask was off of me and put neatly away on the stand by my bed where I keep it at. Now I'm coming to realize that at least every other night I'm taking my mask off in the middle of the night without even knowing it. I have no recollection of taking it off. Has anyone else had this issue or have any suggestions as to what I can do to keep myself from taking it off? Thanks!

I think everyone goes through episodes like that, I know I did and sometimes still do even after using my mask for over 10 years.  I started out with severe apnea and even had to sleep with oxygen but since losing weight...even what I lost before surgery...my apnea has improved 100%. I no longer require oxygen and my settings come WAYYY down.....    There are some nights that I wake up, without my mask on and it's put neatly back on my shelf where I store it when I'm not using it...LOL....I don't know how I do that either!   I think your body will adjust, it will take some time though and happen less and less as time goes by. The important thing is, is that you're being treated for it and you'll reap the benefits of getting a good nights sleep.  I don't have any suggestions though, not sure there is anything we can do besides maybe some glue?  LOL  Kidding of course.  Anyhow, good luck and hang in there....it will work out!   :-)    

I've had my CPAP for a year and still do the same thing.  Some nights I've falled asleep mid-way in putting my mask on.  I'll wake up in the middle of the night with my mask in my hand.
