the function of a cpap machine is to stop you from having micro arousal

No. The function of CPAP is to splint the user's airway open during sleep.

Po-tay-toe / Pa-tot-oh.

Whats happens when one has a obstructive airway? One's brain wakes up, aka disrupts ones sleep, long enough to cause the tongue and soft palate to "un-relax".

CPAPs force enough air into your airway that keep your tongue and soft palate to as you wrote "splint the airway open", which has the net effect of allowing you to have "uninterrupted sleep" or put another way stops your brain from waking up for micro amounts of time (know as micro arousal's) which cause the body to "un-relax" ones tongue and soft palate

If you weren't so hyperfocused on your perceived problem, you'd get the *POINT* that is, "The function of CPAP is to prevent *BREATHING ISSUES* from causing arousals, it certainly *CAN NOT* prevent the plethora of other things that cause arousals during sleep.

'Granny is *CORRECT* and you're being an ass.

Most people would make the interpretation that after being on *FOUR* very different machines, the problem is *YOU*, as hard as it is to accept that.

Most people would understand that when speaking to CPAP users the "micro arousal" verbiage would be targeted to obstructive apnea.
Only a ASS would argue otherwise.
Only a ASS would argue a CPAP machine DOESNT improve the QUALITY of your sleep. Only a ASS would argue the improved sleep quality didnt come from not having as many micro arousal's.

What are the advantages of a CPAP machine?

CPAP machines prevent breathing interruptions caused by sleep apnea. These devices also eliminate harmful sleep apnea side effects. Notable CPAP machine benefits include:

Improved sleep quality.
Lower risk of heart attack and stroke.
A reduction in daytime sleepiness.

Microarousals in patients with sleep apnoea/hypopnoea syndrome
Upper airway obstructions during sleep cause recurrent brief awakenings or microarousals.

LOL @ this being news to you.

the problem is *YOU*, as hard as it is to accept that.

By the length or your FOE list, I suggest looking in the mirror. The problem is YOU.
By all means, add my name to your list
<"moi"!?!? ever chastise anyone? Preposterous!"> Your lack of self awareness is truly astounding

From the

What do you guys/gals want to continue to do???

Fight among yourselves and name call or offer constructive ideas????....if you have some and if you don't how about you keep the fingers off the keyboard.

I am getting tired of the not so thinly veiled personal name calling and barbs.

If I see any more of it....I will lock the thread...it's going nowhere anyway.

Thank you.
And just in case someone doesn't know me....this is the only warning.

Zonker already explained it to you, but SURE, I'll be happy to add you to the foe list. Alas, I hate to disappoint you in that you won't be on the 'warning' list, because so far you're restricting your time wasting activities to just wasting the time of the people that were trying to help you, and not misleading newbies, which is what the warning list is for.
