Sleep Solutions FAQ

A CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) machine helps people with sleep apnea breathe easily throughout the night by delivering a constant stream of air through a mask. This keeps the airway open and prevents pauses in breathing.

To adjust your CPAP mask, make sure it fits snugly but comfortably. Straps should be secure without causing pressure points, and you should not feel air leaking around the mask. A proper fit ensures effective therapy and prevents irritation.

Regular replacement keeps your CPAP equipment clean and working properly. Typically:

• Mask: Every 3 months

• Filters: Every month

CPAP therapy improves sleep quality, reduces daytime sleepiness, lowers the risk of heart disease and stroke, and can even help manage high blood pressure. Many users also experience better mood and improved overall health after consistent use.

You should never adjust your CPAP pressure without consulting your healthcare provider. Pressure settings are carefully prescribed based on your sleep study and changing them could make therapy less effective.

Aim to use your CPAP for at least 6–7 hours each night. Using it throughout the night, every night, provides the best results and helps you experience the full health benefits.

Signs that your CPAP is working include feeling more rested during the day, reduced snoring, and fewer awakenings at night. Some machines also track your usage and effectiveness. Your provider can review this data with you during follow-up visits.

Many people start to feel better within a few days of consistent CPAP use, while for others it may take a few weeks. Improvements in energy, concentration, and mood are common once your body adjusts to restful sleep.

Generally, no. Skipping CPAP use, even for one night, can lead to disrupted sleep and a return of symptoms. Always use your CPAP unless advised otherwise by your healthcare provider.

The CPAP humidifier adds moisture to the air you breathe during therapy, helping to prevent dryness and irritation in your nose, mouth, and throat. This is especially helpful in dry climates or during winter months.

Bring your CPAP machine with you to the hospital. Let the medical staff know you use CPAP therapy so they can help you set it up and monitor your needs during your stay.
