For those of you who have sleep apnea and use a CPAP, I would really appreciate hearing about your experience. Was it difficult at first? Did it get easier over time? I would also like to hear from anyone who has tried alternatives to CPAP and what worked for you. Thank you! start here for success ...

if you could post the run hours, that would be good.

I have a brand new, still in the box, Dreamstation CPAP machine with the humidifier. It was made in 2024.
I was hoping I could sell it on this forum.

I use the Resmed Airsense 10 machine.

thank you and carry on!

Hello all!

I’m selling my Luna G3 CPAP machine. It only has 8hrs of usage, as I had difficulties adjusting to sleeping with a CPAP machine.

you know, almost everyone has trouble adjusting to the machine. i went thru it myself. if you'd like to have some help, just ask us.

we can help.

Are we allowed to sell our CPAP machines on this Forum? I have a new one I would like to sell, but I wanted to make sure it is allowed first. I am located in Canada. Thank you. yup, you may. and may i ask why you're selling it? if you do go through with the sale, pls post pictures of the machine, p...

There are now open source solutions for Android and Apple which capture data from the AirMini™ using Bluetooth (not BLE) which create EDF files that OSCAR and SleepHQ both accept.

great news! not for me personally but for all those airmini users out there.

forgot to add that i use denture adhesive to keep my lips from parting and i use a fanny pack to keep me from rolling on to my back.

Holy Cow Zonker! That’s some serious gear for sure!!!

indeed. i AM a stubborn man.

So, you know I have to ask, what gear do you speak of? http://i.imgur.com/Fy76RtH.jpg jeeze i didn't realize the photo would be so big! this is an old one but shows my basic set up. instead of that scunci and band, i use wonder wrap. also, because of the shape of my mouth, i use a dental type devic...

So you are a mouth breather and use the nasal mask without tape and your AHI is still well under 5? WOW!! you missed this part- "i forgot about my pie hole, which naturally opens during sleep. i spent the next several years trying to correct for that. you may not like all the gear i wear just for t...

So 2 nights ago I had soft pressure adjustment setting, EPR off, pressure at 7.6-9.6 with AHI 2(1hypopnea/1 central)! Best score I have ever had, but still felt somewhat tired. I narrowed the range from 7.6-9.4 last night and I SLEPT 10 HOURS. My wife had to come wake me up! I honestly did not know...

I am looking at the simplicity and cumberlessness of the nasal mask and it looks very appealing but won't work with anyone who breathes through their mouth at any tiime during their sleep! i'm a mouth breather and use a nasal mask. i'm a full bearded fellow and after about forty years of keeping it...

^^^^THIS^^^^ Yep, exactly. With CPAP settings there’s a lot of “try it and see,” but it helps to change only one thing at a time and give it a few nights if you can, unless it’s clearly making sleep worse. For this situation, I’d be looking at comfort and actual sleep quality as much as the AHI. A ...

There aren't any hard fast rules. Nothing that is a guaranteed setting that will work for everyone.

until I eventually 1) learned how the machine works with context to how I work, and 2) gave myself some time to adapt to the therapy experience instead of constantly fighting it.

^^^^^THIS!^^^^^

and it really can't be stated enough.
