Sleep Apnea

I have been diagnosed with OSA and have had great results using the cpap machine for the last 4-5 years. I used to snore every night. However I do have a question. At times,even with the use of my cpap machine, I will at times wake myself up because I have been snoring. Please let me know what I should do. Thank you.
