Sleep Study Tonight - Do I Tell Them I Mouth Tape - TiredOne789 - 11-06-2024
I have a sleep titration this evening. I've been told to bring my mask (p-10), and they will test how I do with a variety of pressures. Should I tell them I use mouth tape? My Leak Rate with tape is normally zero; without the tape, my mouth probably will open and may distort the test results.
Thank you!

Yes, I would not only tell them -- I'd use the tape unless they tell you you can't. You want the titration to make sense for the conditions in which you actually sleep.

That's what I was thinking. I've packed the tape. Thank you, Dormeo.

I hope the titration goes well. Let us know, if you feel like it.

I had my sleep study last night. They were cool with my using mouth tape. They said lots of people use it especially with nasal masks. Glad I brought it. Good advice. Thank you, Dormeo. Now I must wait 7-10 days for the results.
