I've been using a CPAP now for about 14 years. No problem for me and I wouldn't want to be without it. Totally eliminated my getting sleepy while driving in the afternoon or night time.

My ' beauty ' will not make the effort to use hers, even though I've given her multiple articles that tout the health benefits. She also 'gasps for air', wakes up and immediately starts snoring again when she goes back to sleep. She's not overweight at 130 pounds but does make a bit of noise from the snoring.

On mine, I've been thinking about trying to arrange a holder for the air hose that will support it above my head. This would reduce my wake time when I want to turn from my left side to right side, " the hose gets tangled a bit " and I have to wake up more to straighten it out.
