Should You Keep Your Mouth Closed with a Nasal CPAP Mask?

Keep Your Mouth Closed with a Nasal CPAP Mask for Better Sleep

Mouth breathing while using a nasal CPAP mask can cause dryness, mask leaks, and reduce therapy effectiveness. Keeping your mouth closed helps maximize CPAP pressure, reduce discomfort, and improve mask fit.

Tips for Nasal Breathing:

  • Ensure a proper mask fit

  • Use a chin strap to prevent your mouth from opening

  • Manage nasal congestion with sprays or allergy care

  • Adjust sleeping position to encourage nasal breathing
