Bandage
Taping
FFM
for lucky ones chinstraps/chin-up strips only

I don't see any other solutions to this problem. For me (for now) unfortunately the best is taping my mouth with 3m 2,2"" tape wide enough to keep a seal. I just have to "convince" my brain and subconsciousness that it is not dangerous, to be able to fall asleep with it. Only sleeping pills are making me dumb enough to fall asleep like that, and I am really striving to avoid it. Ha! I know it is dangerous so this "convincing" is gonna be hard :/ Maybe when I will sleep with someone it will be safer? Tried janknitz tricks with quattro, I don't know WTF but it leaks no matter what I do :/ is my face so hopeless? Seems normal... If not this forum I would go for a surgery straighaway and give up this CPAP crap.
