How can I stay asleep and keep my cpap on all night?

Question

Although I wear cpap, I still wake up every two hours. I also awaken to find that I have ripped off my mask. Is my pressure to high? Can I reset it myself?

Answer 1

Hard to say.  Could be you just need a different mask.  Have a tried an Apap machine with variable pressure?  That can make it more comfortable if you're at high pressure.  Plus it has the advantage of having software to help analyze you're sleep patterns.

You'll need to have you're doctor prescribe the specific machine you want.  That way the DME can't give you whatever he has laying around.
