    My mask won’t work with my CPAP tube because it is a different brand.

    CORRECT!

    WRONG!!

    NoisyCPAP Tube

    Masks are universal.* Any mask will work with any CPAP tube. That means you don’t have to worry about the brand or compatibility. If you can’t get your new mask to connect, check your tube. A piece of your old mask is probably stuck in the tube.

    *The new AirMini travel CPAP is the ONLY exception to this rule (it is compatible with ResMed CPAP masks: AirFit™ P10 for him, AirFit™ P10 for her, AirFit N20, AirFit™ F20 and AirFit F30).

    CPAP can improve your golf game.

    CORRECT!

    WRONG!!

    quiz golf

    The Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine studied 12 men with moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea to see if using a CPAP would improve their golf game. The men who used CPAP:

    • Reported a huge spike in endurance, concentration, and better decision making
    • Experienced a drop of 11% in their average handicap
    • Lowered their handicap by 31.5% if they started the study with a handicap of 12 or less
    • Interested in improving your golf game too? Upgrade to the most highly rated CPAP, ResMed’s AirSense 10 AutoSet.

    In addition to its whisper-quiet technology, the AirSense features:

    • Auto-titration: smart algorithm automatically adjusts your therapy pressure as your needs change
    • Advanced comfort features: 7 levels of humidity and an optional heated tube ensures you don’t dry out
    • Smaller and lighter: weighs only 2.75 lbs

    The inventor of the CPAP initially studied breathing problems in bulldogs and pugs before moving on to humans.

    CORRECT!

    WRONG!!

    pug tired e1599760446534

    The Inventor of CPAP, Colin Sullivan, did in fact study disordered breathing in dogs. You can thank all those snuffling pups for contributing to sleep apnea research.

    CPAP has come a long way since then, and since it’s essential to maintaining your health, many insurance providers will cover your sleep therapy.

    CHECK INSURANCE

    One of the most common CPAP mask mistakes is over tightening headgear.

    CORRECT!

    WRONG!!

    Mask Marks

    When a mask leaks, it makes sense that the first reaction is to tighten the mask as much as possible. But over-tightening can actually increase leaks in addition to increasing discomfort and skin irritation.

    Luckily, there are a number of ways to alleviate these skin irritations so that you can focus on getting a full night of sleep and stop worrying about the red marks on your cheeks.
