That is a good article and certainly relevant to the audience or readers on this site.

Another way to look at this is to see what may happen to each of us if we choose to discontinue our apnea therapy.

Thank you for taking the time to post the article!

Sleeping with a mask beats the heck out of manslaughter.

bought my first backup machine years ago from a cpapper who had fallen asleep at the wheel but got lucky and didn't hurt anyone....never forget that story, and i always wonder, even if i am 100% compliant I still have to be extra, extra careful, as should everyone who might drive tired.
