My machine has user comfort settings. One of those is to adjust the ramp-up time. I set mine to zero - GIVE ME MY AIR!!! After that change I was able to easily fall asleep. It was difficult prior to that.

I can also adjust the humidity setting. I had to increase it a notch because I woke up in the morning with my nose running and sore - which means I was dehydrated (yeah, that wasn't how I interpreted that symptom).

After those two changes I was able to fall asleep quickly and not wake up with a sore and runny nose.

Had the exact same experience. I hated my CPAP at first, then after a couple weeks of pressure adjustments with my sleep doc, it was damn near perfect. Can't sleep without it now.
