My first nights sleep without getting up in 25 years!

Post by britinjapan » Wed Feb 13, 2013 3:16 pm

I`ve been on APAP now for 6 months. I found leakage issues with the Respironics Blue Gel, as every time I took it apart to wash it, I had difficulty assembling it without leaks. I switched to a Fischer mask below, and I slept for 7 hours solid!! First time ever I can remember!!! Hooray!

Isn't that so cool! We HooverHeads can get so excited about such normally mundane things...

Hi,

Bloody good show! This is fantastic. How did you feel today after getting a real night of sleep? I had a night like this during one of my sleep studies...it was probably the first time in 15 years that I had more than a few minutes of sleep at a time. After getting 5 straight hours of sleep, I felt amazing for the first time in years.

As you go along, the health benefits you will realize will be unbelievable. It's been life changing (and probably LIFE-SAVING) for me. I had very good success from the very 1st night ... now about 3 months. Congratulations !!!! DEAN
