Hi my name is Jose, and I'm pretty happy I found this website. I have a REMstar M Series, which I use at an "11.0" setting, along with a Respironics ComfortGel Mask that only covers my nose. It has a stretchy Neoprene like harness. Here is where my issue is. I am I guess a very active sleeper, and no matter what, every day I use the mask I wake up at some point in the night or the next morning with the machine running but the mask on the floor. I guess I move around too much and the mask comes off or I do it subconsciously. Is there a mask that someone with maybe the same issue or with some knowledge about this issue that you can recommend? Any help, info, or being pointed in the right direction would be great. Thanks in advance! Jose

JoseP how long have you been on CPAP? It is not unusual for people to take off their masks during the night without remember doing it. Especially for new XPAPers, Heck my father inlaw still does that and he's been on CPAP for over 5 years! Anyway is there anything you can use piece of tape maybe? Something that might make it more difficult  for you to remove your mask or would maybe wake you up if you did? I am sure that others in this forum  will post a bunch of helpful suggestions for you to try. This is not unusual, so just wait for all the  help to start pouring in! Good Luck to You!

Ive been on CPAP for just about a year and a half. However this happened from the begininng. I would only wake up with it on when I would sleep about and hour or two, any longer than that and it would be off. The thing is that I got so discouraged that I havent been using it for about 6 months. I try every once in a while but I have the same issues and since its been so long I feel uncomfortable.

Where would I put the tape, just anywhere around the mask so that I realize it....I was hoping there would be some sort of sling or starp that would help hold it on or a better mask!

Thanks again!

I also have a comfort gell, have you resized it so it fits better, see the instructions

tape mask to face so the pain will partly wake you and remind you to leave it on, most of us remove the mask in sleep at first, I did
