Everyday tips

Build a comfortable routine, one night at a time.

Start with a short practice session

Try wearing your mask with the device running while you are awake and relaxed. Follow the setup instructions for your exact device and mask. It can take practice to get comfortable.

Make tonight easier

  • Set up your device and mask before bedtime so you have time to check the connections.
  • Fit the mask in your usual sleeping position. It should seal without painful tightening.
  • Use your prescribed therapy whenever you sleep, including naps.
  • If you remove the mask overnight, note what woke you: a leak, dryness, pressure discomfort, or something else.

Ask for help early

If discomfort keeps you from using therapy, tell your care team. Bring your device and mask names and describe the problem in your own words.
