If anyone here can help or give advice based on this data, I would be really grateful. I have been struggling with therapy for 5 months unable to keep the mask on over 2-3 hours a night, and have been removing it unconsciously- yep, i have recorded myself and tried gloves and socks on my hands!
I currently use an airtouch n30i and chin strap and am on nose sprays to reduce nasal swelling/ obstruction. I do have some dry mouth of course and have tried full face, but I take it off even sooner (F20, f30i, also airtouch)My titration pressure was 13.5-14 but that was during non-rem and non-supine. Here is the info about my machine settings below:

Struggling to wake up with the mask on

Hi all. I have been on CPAP therapy for 5 months and was diagnosed severe in REM and supine and mild in side. I have been experimenting with settings (pressure, humidity, temperature, EPR, etc.) pillow positions, nasal sprays, zero-gravity positions a lot. I also use OSCAR too. I do wake up with dry mouth but face masks like f20 an f30i have been very difficult to keep on for over 1-2 hours. Even my n30i which is airtouch I end up removing it too. I have been recording my self with time-lapse feature on camera and see myself removing it very quickly. My leaks seem to be removing the mask rather than leak -> removal, more like removal-> leak. Not exactly sure tho.

If anyone here could give some advice I would really appreciate it. I am open to DMing to share my OSCAR data.

Yes, I have tried socks, gloves, everything to prevent myself from removing the mask lol!
