These 5 steps to help you have a great first week on your CPAP and helps you to move on to a successful future of restful sleep:

(1) Learn what were the results of your study sleep. You need to really understand why you must the CPAP. Find out, what does your test. Your apnea/hypopnea index, often you breathing stopped what was and breathed to flat deleted your oxygen levels? To know how bad that is allowed to understand you, your sleep apnea that this machine will help you, feel better and live healthier, have known you other problems of such an extremity also movements and gnashing of teeth, as bruxism? If you have any other questions that do not want your doctor you until after he has dealt with the sleep apnea. Do know that these conditions you wake up at night nor cause and may be pursued at a later date. What pressure have used it to fix the breathing problems and what pressure have all snoring go? If you understand why the pressure is set at a certain level you could better understand why the machine how feels it does.

(2) If you have a mask problem, you handle as soon as possible. A mask replaced most insurance companies in the first 30 days. If you give insufficient notice to the company, you can run from time out and pay a new mask. This is especially true if you are developing a print mark of any kind. These are usually on the bridge of the nose. You mean one of two operations either you have the headgear to closely or that your skin can tolerate the pressure of the mask does not. There are many masks on the market, if the first one gives you problems it so probably a second type of mask, which works better for you.

3. If you can sleep the first night with the machine, do not fret. Many people have this problem. The sensation of CPAP takes some getting used to air bubbles in your nose and mouth. Try it while sitting in the living room watching TV. This is your mind something to focus to get a comfortable place for you to adjust the air and less threatening then it will be in a dark room with nothing to do but stare at the ceiling. Once you have done that for a few hours then take you back to the bedroom and retry it at night use. For the second time, you should feel more comfortable and successful sleep with your CPAP be.

(4) To find the right moisture for you. Humidification can help stuffy nose, sinus issues and dry mouth, but you need to find the balance between repair drying and too much water in your mask and tubing in the night. Keep in mind that a dry nose and mouth is much uncomfortable then a little condensation on the nose.

(5) To someone, you speak, if you can solve a problem. Three days after you receive your new machine for the company, which set up you should see, how you do call. Do not hesitate to speak with them. Tell them the truth. You can have a solution to your problem. If they have no solution, talk to your doctor. Sometimes they are to you a recipe in the position to help a problem. If you do become reinstructed with the machine about something. The company that you are set up to be happy and reinstruct you. That's what they are paid. But they do not know what you need, when you tell them. The question you never know what solutions will pop up.

Once you've had your first week of sleep on your CPAP machine, you will find that you begin to feel less tired during the day. Also, you may find that some your health problems, you need to the sleep laboratory brought in the first place can be improved. It may take a little work, but at the end of the time you learn will use your CPAP is worth.
