    different personal experience here. CPAP works, I don’t snore, my wife is happier. A year in, I HATE it. no matter what mask I try, how I sleep, I fucking hate it. Now I’m miserable and waking up all night because I feel like the damn thing is smothering me. And she wonders why I’d rather sleep down stairs.

      You mention trying different masks, and none working. Have you asked about reducing the pressure? Or maybe switching to a BiPAP that reduces pressure for exhale? Nothing is guaranteed to help, but if you haven’t explored those options, might be worth asking.
