PAP Naps

PAP naps are daytime sleep studies designed to help patients who experience anxiety about starting or have difficulty tolerating Positive Airway Pressure (PAP) therapy for sleep apnea. This shorter, desensitization-focused study allows patients to become accustomed to using PAP therapy in a relaxed, controlled environment, helping to improve comfort and compliance with long-term treatment. At Revere Health, our specialists use PAP naps to gently introduce patients to PAP therapy, addressing concerns and making the transition to nightly use easier.

How PAP Naps Work
Daytime Study: Unlike traditional overnight sleep studies, PAP naps are conducted during the day and are shorter in duration.
Desensitization: The focus is on helping patients gradually acclimate to the feel of the mask and the pressure of the PAP machine, reducing discomfort and anxiety.
Guided Support: Technicians are available throughout the study to provide guidance, answer questions, and adjust settings to enhance comfort.

Who Can Benefit from PAP Naps?
Patients with PAP Anxiety: Those who feel overwhelmed by the idea of using a PAP machine or struggle with anxiety related to PAP therapy can benefit from a more gradual introduction.
PAP Intolerance: Patients who have trouble tolerating the air pressure or wearing the mask during the night can use PAP naps to become more comfortable with the therapy in a controlled setting.
New PAP Users: Individuals who are just beginning PAP therapy can ease into the process with the support of trained professionals.

Benefits of PAP Naps
Reduced Anxiety: Helps alleviate concerns about using PAP therapy, making it easier to adjust to nightly use.
Increased Compliance: Patients who feel more comfortable using PAP therapy are more likely to stick with their treatment plan, improving overall health outcomes.
Personalized Adjustments: PAP naps allow for real-time adjustments to the machine settings, ensuring that the therapy is as comfortable and effective as possible.
