Re: Exhaling thru mouth when air pressure increases

Sometimes despite having a small mouth leak micro arousals to a full arousal can happen, which definitely doesn't aid you in a a satisfying night of sleep. It looks like everyone here has talked about the possibility of a chin strap and also seeing if your pressures can be lowered to aid you.
You may try a few excercises that truly seem to help lower the leak percentage and overall discomfort when it comes to a mouth leak issue.
1. Take your tongue and place it at the roof of your mouth while wearing the machine (try to make this a habit). It will promote keeping the air from entering your mouth and the feeling of a need to open your jaw/mouth to relieve.
2. While your tongue is at the roof of your mouth (if your feel you need to open your mouth for relief) suck down as if you had a hard candy in your mouth and breath in deeply all in one motion. This will let the air train to the back of your mouth and to your throat relieving the sensation that you need to open your mouth for relief.
3. Where your positive pressure while you are awake for thirty minutes to an hour daily. This means entirely awake at your full prescription pressure (not the ramp pressure). Focus on how you are breathing and keeping your mouth closed. You may even try to speak with it while the pressure is on such as reading a passage from a book aloud or a magazine article).
I know these are more conventional exercises, but I was reading through the comments and though I would suggest.
