Sealing issue in the mornings !

[rshd301]

Maybe this is just me but when I start to waken up in the morning (around 6'ish), I don't seem to be able to get a proper seal. It doesn't matter what side I lie on or if I lie on my back, it feels like the mask is too big.

Going to sleep is no problem with a great seal on the Wisp no matter what way I lie. So the 64 million dollar question is ......







..........Does your face shrink overnight

same problem

Cleaning my fizzog and the mask again with a Tesco Sensitive Wipe does the trick. Suspect its a problem caused by the hot weather.

I found this as well, it is just like the mask has grown or your face has shrunk!
I found a slight tighten of the straps worked, but if you have oily skin the seal can lift.
I always found I had a leak from a mask during the night, just as if I had shrunk, but a couple of seconds to adjust the tightness of the mask was all that was required.
I moved to nasal pillows and don't have that problem any more, though I still have to adjust them now and again as they get knocked around and and I get the odd leak, but easy fixed by a slight adjustment

Heavy tshirt over my sleepweaver helps cut noise and leaks but it makes the pilairo whistle. T shirt is for killing light.

I switched to them as well, took a few weeks to get used to them but wouldn't go back now!

I found them a bit sore on the nostrils just inside the nose for the first month or so, but after that I was fine. I still get the odd day where a nasal pillow has shifted or rotated and caused a bit of irritation, but I would have to think long and hard before going back to a mask.
They are so much easier to get on with, but of course, if you breath through your mouth they would be useless.

Yes and No. As anything that changes temperature it shrinks and swells depending if your hot or cold. if your waking up to a cold room then I guess it does, but I could be over-flating the truth

Maybe this is where the saying "Big headed" comes from

I swap around now mostly between the pilairo and the eson. Mask and face cleaning are essential, use some wipes and allow mask and face to dry...
