Adjustment with a CPAP machine takes time. At first, you might feel strange and uncomfortable wearing the mask on your face or nose at night to obtain quality and a continuous air flow. You might also feel confined like some with the mask. Give yourself time to adjust slowly to the mask. First hold the mask on the face at daytime so you get comfortable in it. Then, start wearing it with straps for short time periods. Later, add the hose for proper adjustment. Select the right mask size and type with your doctor. See what is best for you. Do you breathe with your nose or your mouth? Do you need a full face mask with strap or just nasal pillows? Ask for a different mask if you do not feel comfortable with the one you have. Analyse your choice: do you want more or fewer straps, and how much contact with your skin?

You need more time to adjust breathing with your machine because it doesn’t feel natural at the start. Practice during daytime by breathing with a CPAP machine. If your machine has a ‘ramp’ feature then you can adjust from a low air pressure to high pressure if you need the same pressure during sleeping time to keep airways open. Once you are done with practice and start feeling comfortable in breathing with the machine, try it at night-time during sleep. Consult your doctor for any relaxation exercise that might help your adjustment with CPAP machine in Australia.
