WHAT IS A SLEEP APNEA?
Sleep apnea is a potentially serious sleep disorder in which breathing repeatedly stops and starts. If you snore loudly and feel tired even after a full night’s sleep, you might have sleep apnea.
The main types of sleep apnea are:
- Obstructive sleep apnea, the more common form that occurs when throat muscles relax
- Central sleep apnea, which occurs when your brain doesn’t send proper signals to the muscles that control breathing
- Complex sleep apnea syndrome, also known as treatment-emergent central sleep apnea, which occurs when someone has both obstructive sleep apnea and central sleep apnea
WHAT IS A CPAP MASK?
The CPAP mask is an important part of your overall CPAP therapy, delivering the air from the CPAP machine to your nose and mouth. Your CPAP mask should be as comfortable as possible, and offer a complete seal around your nose and/or mouth (without leaving marks on your face or irritating your skin).
Wearing the wrong mask can lead to skipping your sleep therapy, slipping your mask off in your sleep, or even giving up on your CPAP machine altogether.
WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF CPAP MASKS?
There are three main types of CPAP masks, and they’re generally available in all sizes. Some manufacturers like ResMed also offer “For Her” versions of these masks, designed specifically for the contours of a woman’s head and face.
- Full face masks cover your nose and your mouth;
- Nasal masks fit over your nose only, offering a lighter fit than full face masks; and
- Nasal pillow masks are even more lightweight and minimal than nasal masks, offering a high level of openness and visibility.
Since CPAP masks require a tight seal to avoid air leaks, sleeping in a way that presses on the mask is more than uncomfortable — it can also compromise your treatment’s efficacy.
A CPAP mask’s headgear can also interfere with sleep, particularly if they have hard plastic buckles or stiff anchor straps.
When choosing a CPAP mask, you should consider both the footprint of the mask — length and width, as well as depth — and where the headgear rests against your face. The goal is to find an effective mask that is still comfortable for you to sleep in.
