Sleep Mask Analysis

If a patient is diagnosed with sleep apnea, data indicates that a sleep mask analysis may be needed to determine the type that is best suited. Apnea interrupts the breathing while sleeping and can increase snoring. A CPAP machine forces air into the nasal passage to prevent blockage. It also works as a treatment to stop snoring. An analysis of sleep masks is important to find the correct style and fit to the CPAP accessory. The data gathered will help you choose the best mask for your needs. Masks usually come with a CPAP machine but data shows that not all masks are comfortable on all people. Try on different types to see which one feels best.

Apnea disturbs you while you are sleeping, having an improper fit may further hamper your slumber and defeat the purpose of this type of treatment. The mask will fit over your nasal passage and may also have a head brace to keep it secure while sleeping. Choose one that feels comfortable and not too tight. Analysis shows that using the device at night and forcing air into the nasal passage will have an immediate improvement on rest. This will aid you in functioning better during the day and being healthier.
