As befits my message board nickname, I picked feeling rested most days. (Actually ALL days from the very first day after starting cpap.) It's been almost a year and a half now - I've not slept one moment - not one, nap or anything, without having the mask on and machine going. It made that big a difference in how rested I felt, that I'd never be without it for sleeping.

On and on

Well, it wasn't a choice in the poll, but the first improvement was not having to get up and pee every 70 minutes all night long. The cessation of snoring is pretty good, too.

to be honest, the lot, all at once, so I'm not voting, I couldn't say which - I can only say how rotten I felt before and how alive I felt after....

Me too. The great thing about relief from frequent nighttime urination is that it offers instant evidence that something is happening. It may not be the most important benefit, but it gives you hope while waiting for improvements that emerge more gradually to kick in.John from Brookston wrote:Well, it wasn't a choice in the poll, but the first improvement was not having to get up and pee every 70 minutes all night long.
