I got the ResMed AirSense 10 AutoSet CPAP Machine with Heated Humidifier.
It almost makes me want to go to bed and give it a try now.
“I am curious if anyone has any comments, good or bad about using a CPAP machine.”
been using one since 1999 ... get an autocpap with humidifier option ... the top of the line ones are:
Philips Respironics DreamStation Auto CPAP
and
ResMed AirSense 10 AutoSet CPAP Machine with Heated Humidifier
Use a full-face mask if you wake up with a totally dried out mouth ... which means your mouth is popping open when you are asleep and all the pressurized air is blowing out your mouth and not propping open your throat ...
I have that one and it is so easy to manage! Make sure you download their app and you can check your sleep score each morning. that will help you figure out if you are mouth breathing, etc.
I’ve been using one for about 4 years - best thing I have ever done. No longer nod off during the day, no more snoring at night. I have some friends who tried earlier models and didn’t stick with it, but the newer models seem to do a much better job of adjusting to your actual needs.
Get the Sleepyhead software (https://sleepyhead.jedimark.net/ ) and you can download the information and see what’s really going on with a lot more detail than the Dr. will give you, and will help you to see how effective it is.
