people with apnea were twice as likely to die or have a stroke.

Actually, people without apnea are just as likely to die. In fact, that's just about 100% for everybody.

Seriesly, though, I have sleep apnea, and I use a CPAP machine. Have had one for over seven years now. It does help my breathing, it cuts out my snoring, and I'm not as tired during the day. It's not a complete fix, and it's still a bit cumbersome to use, but I'm better off with it than without it.

On that note, appropriately, I'm off to bed.

My wife and family are all heavy snorers, but none have apnea.. thanl goodness. she says I snore too. I tell her, prove it. ;-)

A lot depends on your headgear. I heard about the CPAP Pro while on a business trip to Dallas over a year ago, looked them up on the Internet, and didn't even bother to try and get my insurance company to cover it…I knew it would be worth just from a design standpoint, and well over a year later, I will never go back to conventional headgear. You might want to check them out. I don't work for them: I am a satisfied customer.

Have you seen the mask with the front mounted hose that swivels 360 degrees?

WAY better than my old one! I can turn over and it stays on!
