Almost the same for me. Up to 10 hours in a given 24 hour period.
When I started using it years ago it was a game changer as far as how rested I felt after a sleep cycle.
I figure I should have been using one for at least 20 years before I started.

It’s too bad Philips won’t be selling them in the US anymore. I imagine whatever stock they have will either be sold until gone or reallocated to different countries. The lawsuit and recall really hurt them and like I said, it wasn’t even their fault. The machines were being cleaned in a way they never intended. I think I’d try to go after those cleaning machine makers if they haven’t already gone to ground. I never see them advertised anymore.

Same here. I started having episodes back in 1993 (right after I separated from the Air Force) where I would wake up out of breath, or not being able to breath, but I never asked the question about that to my doctor until 2016 and that's when I was diagnosed with moderate obstructive sleep apnea. Now I'm trying to get either a VA or SSA disability based on that diagnosis.

I've been ramping up my usage of my ResMed and I feel it's really making a difference. Like last night, I put the mask on and turned on the machine at 10:30 PM and the next thing I know it's 6:30 AM in the morning. Amazing for me!

Thanks for your input!
