Looks like I'll be picking one up soon. Had a sleep study last night and had 200 "events" before 2 am. No wonder I feel like **** all the time.
CHASMAN9 said:Yep, one right here. UNBELIEVABLE results. I was an extreme case of Sleep Apnea and now sleep like a baby. Just got to get used to it at first.
money_pit_yj said:I tried for 6 months, but every night I would panic and rip the mask off. I have a mild case of apnea but the Dr said he uses one and doesn't even have apnea so I started using one. I tried all the different masks and never could get used to it. I am the only person I know that hasn't had a good result from it.
jpony645 said:From the way the nurse talked, mine was pretty bad. She showed me a graph from before the machine last night and I stopped breathing 10 times in a 5 minute span.
CHASMAN9 said:Yah, I stopped breathing 87 times per hour. Pretty bad. It does take some getting used to at first, but once you get it, it works great. The trick is to wear it in bed watching tv before you fall asleep and jsut breath normally and your body will adjust. Most people just put it on as soon as they are trying to fall asleep and then you wake up panicking that you cannot breathe. It's all in getting used to wearing it.

I used to wait till I was super tired and put it on, mine has a timer that slowly builds up the pressure. If you have issues keeping you mouth shut, you should try using an additional chin strap to keep your mouth closed.
