Try this: while awake, say k-k-katie, like the old song. Notice where the back of your tongue goes on the k-k-k-k. Now, without vocalizing, park your tongue back there, hold it and close your mouth. Put your mask on and inhale through your nose. Practice a bit; after awhile it should become second nature. The air will go into your lungs instead of your stomach. Good luck.
