Thank you this is a very old post am all sorted now , thanks , I got a sleep apnea machine and now get between 6-7 hours rest a night ๐๐๐
CPAP i.e. Constant Positive Air Pressure? I got my first one 10 years ago. It has been a literal life saver for me. I went from getting a couple hours of sleep a night to getting a full 9 hours. It has help my quality of life tremendously.
One problem for some, is getting used to the CPAP. If you can get used to it, it's very beneficial.
I use my c-pap nightly. Have done so for a few years. I had to do sleep studies and the Drs put me on my machine. It has literally saved my life because I quit breathing many times during the night. I live in the desert and I need one with a water tank. Maybe you should check it out and breathe better.
I just received "my" new CPAP machine. Set it up and enjoyed good sleep. Would believe I just received another one today, from another vender. After yelling and screaming for a new one, now I have 2. The 2nd one is different from the one I got last week. Think I shall stick with #1. Because I live in the Desert, I have to have a water chamber, I can't live with out it now.
Sorry for the delayed response.
CPAP stands for continuous positive airway pressure. It is a form of therapy for obstructive sleep apnea, a condition that causes pauses in breathing during sleep due to a blocked or collapsed airway. A CPAP machine delivers a constant flow of air through a mask or nosepiece to keep the airway open and prevent interruptions in breathing. CPAP can help improve sleep quality and reduce daytime sleepiness. (Copied from Microsoftโs Bing)
