Some improvements

It has now been 8 nights of CPAP use and I have had one night of awsome sleep and the rest were average. I did notice that my mood has improved ten fold although my energy has not improved yet. I do have times when I wake up and the mask is not on and I do not recall taking it off. I am currently assuming I take it off when the alarm sounds and then fall back to sleep with out it. I am still very tired throught the day and yawn constantly. I have put several pounds and am not sure why.

A few questions???

1. Does anyone have alternate power supplies at home other than a UPS? If so what?

2. For camping, has anyone tried using an AC/DC converter/inverter?

3. I am 31 and forsee many years of CPAP use. Is there any advice for longterm use?

Good to hear your making progress. Mood improvement is a good sign (for you and your loved ones/colleagues/friends ) and energy will follow. Do persevere, what you are experiencing is not unusual.

Can't help you with the first 2 questions, other than to say there have been several threads on this sort of subject so you could try searching on terms like battery or alternate power supply

On question 3, all I can say is I'm 18 months into a lifetime of use and it's become routine. I barely notice the machine and mask and on the very infrequent occasions I can't use them (eg a local power cut a few weeks ago) it feels uncomfortable and unusual

Good luck
