Did you used to fall asleep on the sofa before Stu? Also, did you have any alcohol on the evenings you fell asleep as that's a big culprit?

'T' Total's a good thing to be with sleep apnoea :) It could just be due to your very busy week, especially whilst you're still in the process of paying back your body all the years of sleep debt it's owed. Also, sometimes we tend to put all our tiredness down to our OSA and forget many other things cause tiredness such as stress, physical exertion and even some foods that we eat. White bread does it to me all the time, unfortunately. See how you go over the weekend.

Probably from the busy week you had if it continues then maybe talk to your sleep nurse if you have one
Enjoy the weekend

It sounds like you need to have more conversations with your sleep clinic. There's little point in having a high pressure if it means you cannot tolerate the machine. There's an interesting video here…"
Pressure waking me up. Belching and wind
HiI'm using the prisma smart max machine. Initially I was just on a nasal mask, this changed as I was sleeping with my mouth open. I then went to face and nose mask and complained of bad wind and belching. Sometimes the pressure in the night was…See More
