Benefits of CPAP Use
CPAPs are an investment to your total health and wellness. When you are compliant with CPAP therapy, you’ll notice a difference in your day. These are just some of the ways you’ll see a benefit with a CPAP.
- Better Mood
When you have a proper night’s sleep, you’re going to simply feel happier and more energized during the day. If you’re an adult, you need 7 to 9 hours of sleep each night. Not meeting this benchmark can increase irritability and unhappiness.
- Sharper Focus
Not only can therapy delay the onset of cognitive impairment such as dementia, it can help to improve day to day concentration. Your body needs an adequate amount of oxygen to the brain in order to function well. CPAP therapy helps with this and will enable your brain to perform its best throughout the day.
- Health Risk Prevention
Compliance to CPAP therapy aids in overall risk prevention for many types of diseases. It can lower blood pressure, heart disease and chance of stroke.
CPAP Care and Maintenance
Keeping your CPAP machine maintained is just as important as compliance. If you’re compliant with a dirty or broken piece of equipment, you aren’t doing yourself any favors. You should be cleaning your mask, tubing and water chambers on a daily basis. Our SoClean device can help make the cleaning process easier. However, you can use a soapy solution with a good rinse and dry.
You’ll want to make sure all of your accessories are up to date and working properly. For example, a loose seal on a mask can make your night’s rest very uncomfortable. Each piece should be replaced as follows:
- Masks: Every 3 Months
- Headgear and Chin Strap: Every 6 Months
- Tubing: Every 3 Months
- Water Chamber: Every 6 Months
- CPAP Machine: Every 3 to 7 Years
