I've been using a full face mask for 7 years and it has really changed my life. In the sleep study I woke to the barely-unconscious sleep state (stage 1) 18 times in 6 hours and spent almost no time in deep sleep. I never really felt rested. Now I wake to stage1 sleep 1 or 2 times a night. It's a big improvement in my life and worth the inconvenience.
Funny thing, I used to have the dream almost every night that I was awake and couldn't sleep. I would look at the clock at 11:00 and think I was lying there awake for an hour. Then I looked at the clock and it was 3:00 AM. It was exhausting and I was in a perpetual bad mood. I guess I was dreaming in stage 1 sleep and not really getting any rest. That stopped when I started using the CPAP.
