The sleep apnea/CPAP mask hucksters are not going to like this story.
As one who has used a CPAP for four years now, I have to say it was worth the initial discomfort. I used to get horrible sore throats from snoring. Now I fall asleep within minutes most nights and I’m awake and ready to go by six most days. The cost of the equipment is a real racket but my insurance covers most of it.
