Anyone use a CPAP machine?

Curious if you've noticed a difference in how you feel...also if you do, how do you get comfortable sleeping with a mask?

TIA

That's the sleep apnea machine, right?

I don't, but know someone who has and he said it makes a huge difference in his life...

My friends husband has it and he loves it. She does too, he doesn't snore or stop breathing anymore.

My father has one and it definitely makes a huge difference. Before he felt like he never ever slept and would fall asleep all of the time no matter where he was. Now he gets a full nights sleep and is not tired until it's time for him to go to bed. Definitely worth it for him

Re: Anyone use a CPAP machine?

I am a sleep disorders tech and I just got home from work. Of course I had to check out a post that said (CPAP machine).
Most patients with sleep apnea really see a huge difference after using the Cpap machine.
We see a huge difference as well with how the patients sleeps with and without the mask.
It is a difficult thing to get used to, and some patient automatically hate the mask and never use it.

For the patients that use it on a regular basis, they can't live without it.
