If you are having difficulty tolerating CPAP, try the following steps to help to get used to it:

• Wear the CPAP mask at home while awake for 1 hour each day.

• Attach the mask to the CPAP device, and switch the unit “on.”  Practice breathing through the mask for 1 hour while watching TV, reading or performing some other sedentary activity.

• Use the CPAP during scheduled 1-hour naps at home.

• Use CPAP during the initial 3-4 hours of sleep.

Try these in step-wise fashion advancing to the next step after five days, once the previous step can be done without anxiety.
