2 months of CPAP, still waking up several times a night, tired the next day

Hi,

I was diagnosed with mild sleep apnea where i have 8 events an hour. I've been wearing my CPAP for almost two months now and honestly i think its reasonably comfortable to wear it on average 6-8 hours a night (full face mask) and get a close to a 100 score nearly every night but i'm still waking up several times a night and being tired the next day. I constantly wake up mid-dream, which i thought was supposed to be stopped by using the CPAP.

​

For example, on Sunday night i slept for 9 hours with the CPAP on and averaged 0.9 events a night but i was exhausted on Monday. Last night, i wore it for 7 hours but i took it off the 3rd or 4th time i woke up and slept with out for 2 hours and felt better today, 1.0 events last night.

​

I'm wondering is there something i'm doing wrong? Or is the machine not recording my sleep correctly?

My air pressure is 5, should that be adjusted?

When i breathe in the full mask gets sucked into my face, is that normal?

Thanks!
