Post 2 months and still tired... Help. 
Hi all. I have been diligently using my cpap machine for 2 months now. I have a res med lite (straight cpap), heated humidifier, swift nasal pillows. Also have a full face mask that works but I don't like it. My pressure setting is at 8.5

What gets me is this. I sleep the night through and still wake up tired. Is maybe my pressure too low?

I was thinking that maybe I should have a home titration study done to see where the pressures are...

Any input is of course greatly appreciated.

THANX

an understated problem from nose masks is opening the mouth when asleep, this causes the iir from the CPAP to be blown straight out thru the mouth so theres no benefit at all

trey the full face mask, perhaps with a chinstrap and see if it works better

OH well I guess I should have stated that I do use a chin strap and Tape. So, I am sealed up pretty good...
