How long did it take you to get used to exhaling against incoming air? First night last night. Got to sleep okay during the ramp up period but when I woke up in the middle of the night and tried to get back to sleep I felt like I was being suffocated. When that happens do you reset it so there is another ramp up?

I guess I'm just used to it. But I don't have to get up a bunch in the middle of the night (yet).

When I had one I used the over the nose mask which basically makes it very difficult to even try and mouth breathe. Got used to it pretty quickly and didn't have any issues. Then I lost 90 lbs and the apnea disappeared.

Any good tips on how you lost the weight?

Yeah I have weight I could stand to lose. Heading into the active part of the year for me so hopefully I will make some headway.

This was the worst timing - happened at 4. Rested enough so that strong airflow made it so I couldn’t get back to sleep.

Reset it to get another ramp up.

Nothing complicated. Quit drinking and was really disciplined with my diet. No breakfast, very light lunch and a decent meal in the evening. Cut out all sugar and bread 6 days of the week. Did that for a good 6-8 months really strict until I got most of it off. Now that I'm thinner I actually have the energy to exercise and can add a bit more carbs in the diet. Still do the intermittent fasting style though.

@Moral just liked this because you mentioned being suffocated.

No alcohol really helps, depending on your “intake” prior to removing.

Let's just say my intake was out of control, definitely the main contributor.
