Do to wearing the mask, you are probably sleeping so deeply and relaxed that you are not awaken by the fact that you have to pee. Try making sure to go to the bathroom before you go to sleep or setting an alarm clock to wake-up earlier to go to the bathroom.

Tell me about it? Thanks—oh, just wondering if it’s like mine.

I know this is going to sound like a commercial but it is the truth.

My husband had the worst trouble sleeping- he had sleep apnea, would snore terribly and would sleep for 8 hours and wake up feeling like he had not slept at all. He was about to start using the machine for sleep apnea but we investigated getting a new bed first. We bit the bullet and went with a Tempur-pedic bed- we have only had it a week but I am not kidding when I tell you the difference is drastic and immediate . I have not heard him snoring at all, I have not noticed him stop breathing in the night or chomping or grinding his teeth anymore and he is sleeping 6 hours and waking up feeling refreshed and energized.

Yes the bed was pretty spendy but it is well worth the investment when you can get a productive, healing nights sleep.

Common sleep disorders are sleep apnea, insomnia and narcolepsy, and people who have these disorders may have a variety of contributing causes. Discover how people with sleep apnea may have a shortened life-span with helpful information in this free video on sleeping disorders.

I’ve been using cpap now for 5 months and still cannot keep the mask on at night on a regular basis. I tend to move around in my sleep a lot and wake up each morning with the mask usually thrown from the bed. (I have a full face mask, multiple straps that go both under and over the ears as well as across the top of the head.) I currently do not have insurance and cannot afford to go see my sleep specialist for his opinion. Any ideas on how to solve my problem besides duct tape??

Duct tape is definitely the cure to everything! LOL! Have you thought about trying a different CPAP facial or nasal mask? That could be one of the problems. You can google cpap mask and look for a site to buy one. I found a place when I googled it and it is www.cpapsupplyusa.com I didn’t look at all of the masks but the nasal masks range from $45 -$140. That is pretty affordable but you may be able to find it cheaper somewhere else. Another thing that I did when my CPAP patients had your problem was to rig up a hose holding device to the wall or head of the bed to put the hose in so that the hose fell behind the patient’s head . This way when they tossed from side to side the hose did not fall side to side with them and they did not accidently rip the mask off of their face. You can use a small rope and make a noose with it. Place your hose in the hole of the noose and then tie the rope to the bed or wall. Make sure that the hose fits loosely in the hole. I would try this first and if it does not work then I would look for another mask that would better suit you and that would stay on you better during the night. Best of luck to finding a solution to your mask problem.
