Sleeping in a recliner

How did I ever miss putting this troll on my foe list?
Edit: There!
It is now done.
Goodbye, forever.

Just don't tell some people anything except what they want to hear.

i'm not so good at the mind reading element of that.

I knew you were going to say that.

And I'm not a mind reader to know the OP has been on CPAP for 10 years. The original post read like a newbie whine "I don't want to use my CPAP, it's too hard. "

I stand by my answer, in case some newbie wandering by gets the idea that a recliner is an option to CPAP (Hint: NO!!!). Some people need a quick, hard reality check.

I didn't remember why this in-duh-vidual was on my foe list... but I've been reminded.

Geez!!! I'm just asking a question!! I've been a CPAP user for over 10 years. I'm temporarily without a bed and trying to decide whether to sleep on the sofa or in the recliner.

I remember now why I stayed away from this website for so long. People can be so hateful!!!

If you mean, can you sleep in or on a recliner while using your CPAP, I don't see why not. I do not think that it would make much difference, especially if you do use your CPAP machine

Do I need to use my machine if I sleep in a recliner?

(The original question . . . )
I guess I have been lucky, because sleeping without cpap always gave me
such a hideous headache the next day, it gave me enough motivation
to never go without my cpap.
During a power outage, I stayed awake, walking around in the dark
--just to avoid the killer headache.
Luckily, the power came back on in a couple hours.
I cheerfully paid the power bill that month--with lavish praise for the service dept.

Our power outages are too frequent for comfort. Sometimes they only last a few hours when a transformer blows or someone hits a utility pole on the country road near our home, but we also have something called "PSPS" or "Public Safety Power Shutoffs" which were born out of our catastrophic wildfires when poorly maintained power lines sparked the fires (usually a power line hit a tree that exploded into flame and spread from there). Our power can be shut off for days or weeks during the highest fire danger--it's miserable because it's also during the very hottest weather.

A lot of people have gas powered generators, but those are noisy and pollute--they make it even harder for me to breathe when a lot of them are running in our neighborhood and I have to keep the windows open at night to avoid suffocation from heat. One of our neighbors had a house fire when they were doing the monthly maintenance run of their generator and put it away in a shed when it was still hot. Our whole neighborhood was threatened in that fire which grew quickly and spread to their immediate neighbor's home before it was under control.

I have a battery generator. It's small, will last only one night, but can be recharged by AC or DC power and I hope to get solar panels to recharge it. When there is a PSPS there are cooling and recharging stations in our area if needed. It's such a comfort when the power goes out at night to know I can use my CPAP still. It was around $150 but I've been very thankful to have it when needed.
