What machine are you using? What mask do you use? Hows it going for you? Any OSCAR users? SleepHQ?

Solidarity with all my snorebois and snoregals.

I've been recommended, should I?

Absolutely you should. This thing is life changing and I would never do without again.

Before getting a CPAP I was reluctant because I knew it would entail daily maintenance and would limit where I could sleep (need electricity).

After I got it, all of those things were still true but what I didn't factor in was how much better I felt everyday and how small of a price the extra routine was for the huge return in quality of life.

In pre-cpap times I'd need 9-10 hours to come close to feeling normal, and with the gift of hindsight I can tell you that the difference between a good night of sleep then vs now, it's not even close.

Get the sleep study/CPAP

Since day 1 of using it my partner says he could tell a huge difference in energy levels. He also doesn't sweat during the night anymore, which I assume was due to his heart trying to pound out of his chest because he wasnt breathing. Sleep apnea can wreak havoc on your heart, I would really encourage you to seek treatment

Full throated endorsement. Yes.

It has been a motherfucker for me to adapt to, but the nights i dont use it, the next day is fucking garbage; cant think, lethargic.

I dont like it frankly, but i like not breathing even less so CPAP it is.
