I hate it. I've just traded one reason for bad sleep with a different reason.

Now, instead of obstructions waking me up, it's something environmental (mask fit, or noise, or something similar). Also, I used to not notice when the apnea woke me up. I always notice it when the stupid machine does. But I'm pretty much stuck with it now.

Good luck if you get one, hope it's better for you than for me.

Most people on here says it’s worked very well for them. It hasn’t done much

CPAP didn't do much for me the fist few years. I finally went to an ENT specialist.

What procedure did you have done?

I should probably do a sleep study. I sleep like crap. 4-5 hours a night. Tops.

That's all I've gotten each night for a few decades.

Yeah. I'm 'used to it' and I actually do like those quiet hours in the morning.

Yes, big difference. More well rested feeling every day.

I use an oral device instead of a CPAP.

It seems to help. My dentist made me a fitted oral device that I have used for

Listen, you can't afford to NOT use a CPAP or perhaps a mouth piece.

Anyone know if there is a particular cpap machine that is thought to be better

The two main brands are Philips Respironics and Resmed. The Philips machines

Crazy. With how big that market is I’m surprised there are such limited options
