C pap

[PaulaUSN 103]

I've just got my c pap and have to use it for at least a month before my insurance will give me a date for my RYN, my question is how do you sleep with this mask on your face. I'm a side to tummy sleeper and having a tough time. Any helpful hints, tricks would be gratefully appreciated...its driving me nuts.

Pillows are key. You can get special CPAP pillows for side sleepers, or you can use soft pillows to create a space. I have used a CPAP for years and am a side/belly sleeper.

I am a side/tummy sleeper also. I'm still getting adjusted. I use a neck pillow plus my 2 pillows.

I've had a CPAP for over a year and I am a side sleeper - I use the wisp (just around the nose but not the nose pillows) and mine works fine on my side. You learn how to make adjustments to prevent leaks. Best of luck

The right mask is key! I got a crappy full face mask initially. It sucked as I'm a side/tummy sleeper and wouldn't seal properly. A family member gave me a new full face mask that is seriously like the rolls Royce of face masks that even had a nice little cushion on my forehead and a great seal. Shop around for a mask that allows you to put some pressure on the side!

I sleep on my side and just have to tighten the straps it to stay in place.

I am a side sleeper. I bought a special pillow for cpap users.
