Tips
My new mask is
uncomfortable;
I’m worried I
won’t be able to
use it
You need to get used to the mask. Try wearing
the mask when you are awake as well as asleep
so you start getting used to it being on your
face. Please be aware that the masks are costly,
and we will usually only issue one per year.
The mask is
irritating my skin
Readjust the headgear straps. The mask should
be comfortable on your face while still creating
a seal.
Please call us if you continue to struggle with
the mask fit.
Check the mask for cracks. If you find any cracks,
please call the Sleep Disorder Centre for a
replacement.
Wash your face nightly before putting the mask
on and ensure it is dry — skin oil or cosmetics
can interfere with the seal.
Follow the daily mask cleaning instructions in
this guide.
My throat
gets dry, or I
get a stuffy or
runny nose or
nosebleeds
Adjust the heated humidifier settings in ‘my
options’ menu.
Try a saline nose spray at bedtime and when
you wake up.
Ask your doctor about prescribing a suitable
nasal steroid spray.
Try an oral antihistamine.
This problem may go away naturally over time.
