Taking mask off at night

Taking mask off at night
Hi everyone! I have been using my cpap for a couple of months now. I go to sleep with the mask on, but at some point during the night I end up taking it off. Do you have any tips or advice on how to prevent myself from taking it off during the night?

RE: Taking mask off at night
How often are you removing the mask? Several times a week, or only a couple? 

There's tape that can be used, as some on here go that route. Give it some more time and see if you become more accustomed to wearing the mask. 

BTW.....what kind / type mask are you using?

Most importantly, do not stress over doing that. We all have bad nights, weeks, or months using CPAP. I've been on CPAP for ~6 years and only recently started doing the same thing. No idea why, it just started a few nights ago. I will KBO regardless and expect it will get back to normal soon.

I take it off every night. I have a lot of daytime sleepiness and wish I could manage to keep the mask on longer. Also I’m almost to where I am non compliant with insurance because I’m not wearing it enough so it is quite problematic.
