Is it that your hair is slippery? The straps too tight? The clip defective (see your DME)?

What "mask" is it? There are literally HUNDREDS of masks for this therapy. We aren't clairvoyant.
Could it be that you're actually taking it off in your sleep? That's a common issue for new users. They remove their masks during their sleep without knowing it.

Not knowing what kind of mask you have, I suggest bobby pins or a strategically positioned pony tail could help.
Hair is usually quite strong (seen the trapeze act?).
Welcome, please feel free to register and fill in your equipment.
We don't know everything, and most of us know it.
We still try our best to help.
