Hi, Michael! I've been on my CPAP machine for only two nights. My surgeon, Dr. James Koren wants me on it for two weeks prior to surgery, which is scheduled for 12/16, about three and a half weeks away from this posting. I'm doing okay with my nasal mask ...just slightly annoying. I wore it for 5 hours the first night and about 6 hours last night. I wish you well. Mary L-T
