How does anyone sleep with a mask on their face all night?
Surprisingly well. Sleeping and breathing at the same time is habit forming. Remember that CPAP is not given to people who sleep or breathe normally. Its given to people who cant sleep because they cant breathe. Once they are able to breathe with CPAP, many people with OSA are able to sleep soundly the whole night through. Most users do go through an adjustment period before becoming truly comfortable with CPAP. The trick is to get a well-fitting mask and the correct pressure, and to give the person the opportunity to get used to CPAP.
