Video - Sleeping in Weightless Condition

I agree with the author - major creep factor.

It's been said there is no OSA in weightless conditions. There is no gravity to pull the tongue and soft palate into the airway. ????

Super creepy all right, like they are pod people! I wonder what their dreams consist of and what their sleep architecture is like?

I like my ResMed AirFit F10 FFM - reasonably low leaks for my ASV therapy. I'm currently using a PR S1 AutoSV 960P Advanced. I also keep a ResMed S9 Adapt as backup. I use a heated Hibernite hose. Still rockin' with Win 7 by using GWX to stop Win 10.

I would imagine that a person with apnea would never have been accepted into the space program.
Until an apnea patient is observed sleeping in zero gravity, we will never know for sure.
Of course, this is not likely to prevent someone from capitalizing on some hokey gadget
to sell to those who have difficulty with masks and pressure.
