A mask for a wild sleeper

No one mask will every work for everyone, but it is wise to get suggestions here. I wonder if you have tried any of the Swift strap fixes? I returned my Swift because of the same problems you mentioned, and after seeing all of the adaptations for the Swift, think it could have worked for me.

Having provided the above, I have tried wearing glasses under my CL 2, and it does work. However, removing them can be a bit of a problem if one doesn't wish to move the nosepiece tube out from its sleeping position.

If they are reading glasses or perhaps one is very devoted to them, perhaps the type of glasses that the forensic pathologist wears on CSI: New York would work? They fasten with magnets at the bridge of the nose:

Clic Magnetic Eyeglasses

The same frame design is also available for prescription lenses.

The makers of the Twilight NP claim you can wear glasses with it, but I assume they mean under the mask... I'm not sure how that would work really.

If it were me, I would just try not ramping.

Does anybody wear glasse with the CL2 or twilight?

I wear my glasses with the CL2. To take my glasses off without removing the mask, I flip my glasses over so that the ear pieces are to the front (and upside down) and then I ease one side of the glasses through the space between me and the rigid hose to remove! Ta-da! I don't have to remove the mask!

Where there's a will, there's a way!
