Dreamwear Full Face Mask - flaps sticking?
Something a little scary happened to me last night. My CPAP turned off for some reason - the electricity didn't go out, so I'm not sure why - and I didn't wake up immediately. Also, the flaps on my mask were stuck. I drool quite a bit in my sleep so after I've used a mask for a few nights, the flaps never seem to come down like they should - they're just glued by my drool. I clean my mask daily, but I can never get the flaps to work properly after the initial few days with a new mask. Any advice?

You probably have the Smart Start feature turned on. This has known issues on the AS10. Try turning it off and see if this corrects the problem.
