I like how I breathe using machine. I feel like my diaphragm is working. But I find it harder in the morning after removing the mask. Feels like takes longer to get going.

Has anyone had any similar experience or any knowledge that may ease my concerns ?
Thanks I will look into that but it is not something that has been mentioned so it may not be offered in the UK
