First night with a mask, done.

Hello, I am so pleased to find this community since I am just starting my apnea treatment journey and would like to not feel so alone about it. I'd like to share my apnea info if I may.

I have a personality that can't do anything in moderation so of course I have an AHI of 66.5 which is apparently very severe. Last night was my first with the mask. After telling the advisor at the medical supplies store that I couldn't "envision a world where I can sleep with this on my face", he said to take frustration out of the equation, plan for that, and the first night just wear it for 30 minutes, then take it off an call it a win. But I put it on and 40 minutes later legit fell asleep and kept it on for 7 hours, including putting it back on after getting up to pee. My AHI for the night was 7.1, which doesn't hit the target but is still a nearly 90% improvement.

Anyway, I'm a super positive person who is happy to have found this community, who is hoping he is welcome, and who is very excited to possibly contribute positively to it. Thanks!
