What a fool I've been. Of course, I have the answer:
CPAP HELPER MONKEYS.

You know you want one.

@CF - If a vivacious, young, healthy frog such as yourself can request a bullfrog for home care. What kind of home care professional can a cute and cuddly female hamster request? After all, the biggest thing I need is my cheeks massaged especially after stuffing them with seeds and such in preparation for putting on my mask.

I married the bullfrog. He's quite useful. Cute, too!

I just ordered a fully maxed out 27inch Imac http://arstechnica.com/apple/2012/11/fu ... efore-tax/

my justification is that it was taking too long for me to boot up Windows via Parallels in order to upload my CMS50F oximetry data for transfer into Sleepyhead on Mac OS - the newer Imac should speed this process up and so is worth it (thats what I tell my wife anyway )

I suppose I really must tell that I got these to be able to help others find and treat thier OSA. Pulse oximeter and Acer One Netbook to analyze data. The Acer also proved useful to record night time audio.

I found out that the denial of OSA is stronger than oximeter data!! Of six I got to wear the oximeter - all of them had very significant desaturations - a year later none of them had gotten a sleep study and treatment. OSA denial takes nuclear strength ordnance apparently.

I still use both now five years later.
