effectiveness of CPAP

Posted by mrchirpy on June 26, 2001 at 09:32:35:

I have been on CPAPfull face mask for several months. Setting is 13. I) sleep well but waken about 3 or 3:30 and take mask off. Sleep again until 6:30 get up with no problem. Question is: Does removing the mask early hinder effectiveness? My Respiratory Technician says any time I use the mask is a positive ecxperience. Someone else said taking it ioff eraly undoes all the good effect. Please advise.
