Some people take to a CPAP right away. Others don't. If you find yourself
bothered by it or taking it off in the middle of the night, hypnosis can help.
I picked up mine recently and am one of those people who has to work at getting
used to it. But I am. I am already highly motivated because I know I am already
experiencing benefits that outweigh any discomfort. More energy. Feeling of
refreshed in them morning. These are easily worth getting used to looking like a
jet fighter pilot when I crawl into bed at night.
If you are local to me in Rhode Island or Massachusetts, I invite you to let me help you also to adopt a positive, accepting attitude toward your machine as the
life-saver it is. Get to sleep easily and stay asleep. After all you went to the
trouble of the sleep study. You were diagnosed by your physician as having sleep
apnea. Therefore you know you would benefit from using the CPAP system if you
used it. Don't be one of the people who tries it for a while and gives up on it.
If you are not local to me, let me suggest you find a qualified hypnotist
in your community and ask him or her to help you. Any clinical hypnotist should
be able to talk with you about your problems and design a program to help you,
whether they are familiar with CPAP or not. You might bring the unit along to
the first session so they can see for themselves what is involved.
In the meantime, here are a few suggestions to getting comfortable with your CPAP:
Easy does it, but do it. Start by
using your CPAP for short periods during the day.
Adjust the mask, tubing
and straps to get fit right.
Ask for a different mask if yours is
too uncomfortable. A full mask might
work better if you breathe through your mouth. A
mask with nasal pillows should decrease nose
discomfort. A mask with a chin strap will help keep
your mouth closed and reduce throat irritation.
Put your CPAP unit under the bedif the noise bothers you.
Work with your doctor or sleep
specialist to ensure the right fit and
find the right settings on your CPAP unit.
Use your CPAP consistently
– every night and during every nap. This will make
the adjustment easier and ensure maximum benefit.
Keep your CPAP unit clean.
Self-explanatory.
Try a session or two of hypnosis.
It can't hurt and it might be all the added support
you need.
