101 daytime uses for your CPAP machine!

CharlesJ · Post by **CharlesJ** » Thu Aug 04, 2005 5:30 am

All,

In another thread someone referred to their machine as a "glorified leaf blower". Okay, I've been thinking about this. If we sleep eight hours per day there are 16 hours per day of utility we're not getting from our investments. That's 2/3! You see, now that I'm sleeping like a baby I have all this mental clarity to expend on these important issues.

- Could I really use my CPAP machine as a leaf blower?
- To what pressure would I have to set it for this application?
- Maybe I could make money by selling a leaf blower adapter?
- Is there a market for a heated, humidified leaf blower?
- What about a combination leaf blower/tire pump/hair dryer/convection oven/golf ball warmer/CPAP machine?
- Sorry for the stupid thread but I feel fantastic this morning and I think we need a little more humor here.
- How about a pump for a fish tank?
- An air supply pump for a deep-sea diver?
- A cooling fan for hot summer days?
- An air compressor for airbrush painting or pneumatic power tools?

Can you think of any more?

Have a great day!!!

Chuck

I have had success using my Remstar Auto as a leaf blower, but only with my Bonsai trees.

For those of you into bui9lding computers you could use it as a CPU or Video Card GPU cooler!

Hmmm... It logged me in as a guest. I've seen this happen to several others too. Mebbe I need to visit and post more often to have it recognize me.

I hate you. And everyone else that is feeling good this morning.

Not only did I have numerous arousals last night but for two days in a row I've got up 2 hours earlier than normal. My sleep isn't just poor quality, it is short!

The only bright note is my machine arrives today and maybe, just maybe, I'll soon join the ranks of those I hate; those bright-eyed, rested, energized morning people.

(Just kidding about hating you or anyone else. Too tired to feel that much emotion.)

Humidor for your finest cigars?

I'm planning on using mine as part of my halloween costume this year...Darth Vader!

You could use the system in the bathtub as a poor mans hot tub also

A cooling fan for hot summer days?

Yeah, my husband thinks it's a cooling fan LOL - the exhaust port blows right on him

Works great for inflating airbeds & inflatable river kayaks. Really.

Oh Bill....I hate to see you not feeling well. You seem to be a really laid back kind of guy that doesn't let the world get you down. Oh well, I guess you're human after all.
I am so happy to hear that you're getting your machine...do you have a mask picked out??? I can't wait to hear how you do with everything!!!!
Maybe you could take a little nap today...are you at work??
Hang in there! Amy

Amy, I really appreciate that. There have been days recently that the only thing that gets me through them is the hope that people like you on this forum give me. (Sorry, atrocious grammar, but I'm in a fog today.)

I am so happy to hear that you're getting your machine...do you have a mask picked out??? I can't wait to hear how you do with everything!!!!

The package being delivered this afternoon (UPS reports the truck is out on delivery) contains both a Swift and a ComfortSelect which is the mask I used during my titration. It seemed to work real well for me that night and is inexpensive. But I'm going to try the Swift for the first few days and persist with the equipment even until I get used to it.

Maybe you could take a little nap today...are you at work??
Hang in there! Amy

Yep, I'm at the office. I'm privileged to have an office with a door I can close, not just a cube like most, so maybe I'll take your suggestion and nap for a bit.

Thanks for the words of encouragement. They are appreciated.

take an empty aquarium, stick the hose in and seal the top with saran wrap and set it in front of an air conditioner. Crank up the Humidifier and try to make a rainstorm.
