A member asked:
I use a machine for overnight ventilation- sleep apnea and ive gotten used to it now. but sometimes i wake up and im still quite tired and end up turning the machine off to get a few hours of sleep without the ventilation. why is that happening?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Mask fit/sleep study: The CPAP/NIV device may cause noise, the mask may not fit properly and this can lead to disrupted sleep. Avoid caffeine and drinking fluids two hours prior to bedtime, Adjust the mask fit with your respiratory company, if there is a problem and sometimes wearing ear plugs may help. IF you have the results of your prior study, you may upload them to an inbox consultation.
