2 years on CPAP

Just started my second year on CPAP and i will never go to sleep without it. I used to wake up 10-15 times a night and fall asleep at work. I put my mask on and it just feels natural now. I could never be without out!

Re: what would u do?

I could never adjust to the mask well. My provider started me off with the comfort select mask and it would always leak no matter what i did. Now I use the opti life nasal pillow and i love it. It works great!

Re: How long did it take you to start sleeping all night on cpap

I have been on CPAP since December and I had no problem adjusting to it. From the first night I slept like a baby and i have not gone to bed with it since.

Re: What to do when CPAP is broken?

But I did check out cpapaution.com and i'm going to get myself a back up machine for the future! Thanks again for the imp...

Re: trouble with sleeping with partner

I sleep at my girlfriends house maybe twice a week and I would always wake up to find she had moved to the couch during the night because of my snoring. She is also the one who told me i stopped breathing sometimes at night. I did not want to put the mask on in front of her or stay over since gettin...
