Don’t Ignore The Snore®
I have sleep apnea, but treatment isn’t working
Diagnosed, equipped — and still tired, or fighting the machine every night.
In plain language
What could be happening.
Most therapy problems are fixable — and common
A leaking mask, wrong pressure, dry air, or a machine from years ago: the usual suspects behind “CPAP doesn’t work for me” are adjustments, not dead ends.
Sometimes the treatment itself is the wrong fit
And when it truly is, alternatives exist — bilevel pressure, oral appliances, daytime muscle therapy, positional approaches. Quitting isn’t the only alternative to struggling.
Worth taking seriously
The warning signs.
Waking with the mask on the floor
Leaks, noise, or air swallowing that keeps you up
Still exhausted after months of “compliant” use
You’ve quietly stopped using it
Why it matters: Abandoned treatment means untreated apnea. Usually the fix is a fit tweak, a pressure change, or a conversation about alternatives.
The clear next step
Find out in sixty seconds.
Skip the check — you’re past it. Call your coach, or schedule a treatment appointment and bring the machine: most fixes happen in one conversation.
