Sleep Apnea Masks For Sound Sleeping

The American Sleep Apnea Association identifies CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) therapy as the most common treatment for the common sleep disorder known as sleep apnea. A CPAP nasal mask works by preventing the airway from closing during sleep. Sleep apnea masks come in a variety of forms and sizes. A full face CPAP mask will cover the entire face, while a comfort gel CPAP mask may only cover the mouth and nose.

The CPAP nasal mask machine sends air under pressure through a tube and into the mask, where it imparts positive pressure to the upper airways, preventing the tissues in the back of the throat from closing during sleep.
