If you’ve recently been diagnosed and started your treatment for sleep apnea you might feel that sleep apnea masks are a little uncomfortable. It may take a while for you to get used to sleeping with it on, and have the urge to take it off at night. Removing your sleep apnea mask during the night does nothing for your treatment and is harmful to your health, as the sleep apnea machines are built to help you breathe. Here are a few tips to help you sleep easier, without interfering with your treatment.
• If you like to read in bed, nasal pillows are great. If you’re a side sleeper, these may not work for you if the air hose comes out of the side and could be uncomfortable.
• For many wearers of sleep apnea masks, they can be itchy, especially on your nose. If this is your case, try getting an inexpensive paper tape, about half an inch wide.
1) Cut a piece that could cover the entire bridge of your nose without blocking your eyes.
2) Next cut a smaller piece and place it on the bigger one, adhesive to adhesive so a small part of the sticky side is on both ends, this makes next day removal easier. The main thing to keep in mind is that the tape can’t cause any air to come out the sides of the mask.
• Many sleep apnea machines have a ramp feature that means your machines pressure starts off low and slowly works up to the pressure you require, giving you time to fall asleep.
• You may also want to consider taking a non-habit forming sleep aid until you get used to the machine.
There are also other complications when using your CPAP machine. I had a runny nose for the first time, to solve this try applying a nasal gel but seek recommendation from your doctor first.
