Sleep apnea. Anyone here?

I would probably have to get a chin strap because otherwise, I would try to breathe through my mouth.



My current mask fits over my mouth and goes under my nose, so it doesn't have the fitment problem alongside my nose. The problem is that it pushes the tip of my nose up and back and my nose gets sore by the middle of the night. 2am me isn't very reasonable about things like that, apparently.


I have a full beard and mustache, so the full masks don't make a good seal for me. I don't have a problem with my mouth falling open, so I didn't need one with a chin strap, but I know they make them.

Brand new, mine will make my nose sore for a few days while the band loosens a bit (just elastic, no straps).
