Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) is the gold standard for sleep apnea. Here is how to achieve total comfort and compliance.
Tips for Comfort:
- Find the right mask style: nasal pillows, nasal cradle, or full-face depending on whether you breathe through your mouth.
- Utilize ramp features: begins at a gentle pressure and increases as you fall asleep.
- Use heated humidification: prevents nasal dryness and congestion.
- Consistency: using CPAP for at least 6 hours every night dramatically lowers blood pressure and eliminates daytime exhaustion.
