  • If your dad has a CPAP machine and still snores then it’s not doing its job. Either:

    • He’s not using it
    • He’s removing it halfway through the night
    • The mask is not fitting well

    Can’t help with the first case. In the second case, it can happen reflexively if the air is too warm or too dry. Is he using the humidifier feature?

    For the fit part, he might want to try a different type of mask (eg nasal pillow if using a full mask or vice versa). Different types of masks may also be more convenient for certain sleep postures, which as you already discovered can make you more or less prone to snoring.
