Cause of leaks FINALLY figured out

I've never seen anything posted here on this subject, here goes.

My ASV is going really well, always good SH results, but high leaks (usually over 10, sometimes 20 - 30) and very dry mouth. The leaks generally come in a cluster in the middle of the night, so it's not the mask (original Dreamwear.) Last night I pointed a little home security camera at my sleeping head, and it turns out that I talk in my sleep.

I knew that I had done this years ago -- it amused my college roommate -- but I had no idea I was still doing it. I'll go back to mouth-taping, but I almost always pull it off in my sleep (probably because it gets in my way when I'm sleep-talking.)

Any thoughts or suggestions? Anyone else having this problem?

Record yourself.
You may say something surprisingly awesome.
I believe in you.

Would a full face mask help?

Probably, but I've never had long-term success with one. I have a small face, and everything leaks from the moment the machine turns on.

Nice solve!
Try taping with 3M micropore. Keep one edge folded and the the rest taped. Let's see if you can pull this out while asleep...
Other than this, FFM.
