Not realizing that you are removing your CPAP mask off during the night is common, especially in the first few weeks. It is akin to a housefly landing on us.
You should follow up with your Board Certified Sleep Specialist. Taking the mask off during sleep sometimes indicates that your CPAP may not be set at the correct pressure. If you have a bed partner, you should ask if they hear you snoring while using your CPAP.
You need to first return to the office or center where you received your CPAP and headgear to have them verify that it properly fits to your face. Tell them your concerns and problems and they will correct them.
