You might be a CPAP user if…

Having a leak in the night doesn’t mean visiting the bathroom.

You’ve been through so many masks you could open a second hand store.

You’ve realised that if you’re not in the mood for ‘lovin’ you can quickly put your mask ON which quickly puts your partner OFF.

You know what AHI, RDI, EDS, PSG, and OSA are

You’ve ever been looking forward to bedtime to try your new mask.

I’m sure there are better ones that can be added…lets see ‘em!

You might be a CPAP user if .......

when you go to the airport you check out everyone's carryons to see if any of them are labeled Resmed, Respironics, DeVibliss, Puritan Bennett........

and if they are at the same gate you start up a conversation with them and start educating them on everything they didn't know and maybe didn't want to know about CPAPs and CPAP Accessories.

you have red marks or indentions on your face every morning in the same place.

when looking for new bedroom furniture you check the height of the headboard, and look for places to attach a bungee or scrunchie, and see how much space is on the top of the bedside table or how big the drawers are by using your hands spread apart, palms facing each other and measuring each space precisely, then frowning or smiling, depending on the results.

start suggesting Sleep studies for everyone who mentions they snore loudly, are tired all the time, depressed, or irritable, and telling them the dangers of untreated Sleep Apnea

when someone tells you so-and-so just died in their sleep, you mumble, "I'll bet he had Sleep Apnea"

and if you spend more time reading posts on this forum than you do reading the newspaper, a book, or reading to your children, You Might Be A CPAP-User!

If your house is really dusty because your housekeeper can't wrestle the vacuum cleaner away from you.... you might be a CPAP user.

If your children have started having nightmares about Darth Vader coming to get them... you might be a CPAP user.

If you've ever woken up dreaming you were inflated and had punctured yourself... because you had to scratch your nose... you might be a CPAP user.

You brag to musicians that you can play the CPAP in your sleep and the "biological wind horn" all day.

If getting a BJ all night every night is NOT sexy to you... you might be a CPAP user.

You try to explain to your friends that your breathing was all hosed up---figuratively----and that was a bad thing...

Yet now that your breathing is all hosed up---literally----and that is a good thing!!?

When you look at a jug of distilled H2O with the same lust as you used to look at single-malt whisky.

When you look at the checker in the Drug Store and say "The KY's for my nose.... No, really!"

If you are looking forward to the remake of " The Man in the Iron Mask" and you think to yourself "I wonder if he got leaks" you might be....

You might be a cpaper if:

Words like Mirage, Profile and nasal prongs don't instill visions of dessert oasis, side views and bulls with nose rings!!
