New CPAP mask (2)

After nine days with my new mask1, I'm getting more comfortable with it and learning how to connect all the straps in the dark. I try to keep the 'right cheek' strap connected all the time so that I only have to connect (or disconnect) the 'left cheek' strap. It's much harder to set the mask up if both straps are loose.

As expected, the data from the machine shows a great improvement from the final weeks of the old mask. There are no leaks at all, and most nights have either 0 or 1 apneic events per hour, meaning that my sleep get interrupted less and so I should feel more rested. 

One night, the 'deep sleep' count was 124 minutes which is about twice as high as it's ever been. I don't pay much attention to this measure as it seems to have no correlation whatsoever with my perceived quality of sleep, and I don't remember anything special about that night.
