What machine? What mask? What pressure? How many hours a night do you manage? Any idea why you might be taking the mask off? Pain? Leaks?

If you are taking the mask off and not remembering it....try taping it to your face with a bit of tape that will cause some discomfort when removed (so it will wake you up and you will leave it alone).
Or try sleeping with mittens on your hands to make it difficult to remove the mask.

To be able to give you more specific ideas we need more specific information.

So please either register here at the forum and add your equipment to your profile like I have mine or
include more details in your posts. It will help the members here..help you better.
