I've been using a c-pap for about 16 months and it's been going well. I've tried several different mask types and found that the nasal "sleeve" (the one with h...

In the past I"ve only had to wash & dry my hair twice a week, and that also keeps it healthier. But now I have the worst bed head ever, every morning. On...
