Accessorize! Additional Items to Help with Your Sleep Apnea Therapy

If you’re attuned to the world of fashion at all, you might be familiar with the phrase, “accessorize accessorize accessorize.” The right accessories can completely change the look of an outfit, and can turn a casual set of clothes into formal chic.

 

The same can be applied to sleep apnea therapy. You can take the same CPAP machine and apply different accessories to it, turning it from minimalist apparatus to a haven of sleep and comfort.

 

As CPAP Central sees it, the more comfortable you are, the more likely you will remain CPAP-compliant. Here are a few items we’ve seen that help patients become successful in their sleep apnea therapy:

 

Heated CPAP Humidifiers: A common complaint among CPAP users is that they wake up with dry sinuses and itchy noses. This can happen year-round, but it gets worse as the winter months begin.  An easy solution to that is to use a heated CPAP humidifier. It will moisten the air coming from your CPAP machine, giving relief to dried-out nostrils.

 

Heated CPAP Tubing: CPAP users who decide to install a humidifier sometimes find themselves battling “rainout,” where water builds up within the CPAP hose, making it impossible to use. One solution is to purchase a heated CPAP tube, which eliminates rainout with constant temperature and humidity control.

 

CPAP Hose Lift: Active sleepers often have trouble with their CPAP hoses becoming tangled as they switch positions in the night.  A CPAP hose lift can help by elevating the tubing so it is not lying next to you as you sleep.

 

CPAP Nasal Pads: CPAP nasal pads can help your CPAP mask feel much better and allow you to sleep more comfortably. The pads are designed to prevent skin irritations and marks from the mask if it fits too tightly.
