A member asked:
I have been using a cpap for 17 years. i am always tired because it wakes me throughout the night. how can i get off the cpap?

Sleep study: Time for a new sleep study. Most of the time the reason for not being able to sleep with the mask on is either wrong settings or a poorly fitting mask. There are new mask devices, either mouth or nose only that may be better tolerated.
