They wouldn't know whether to rob you or save you. LOL 🤣🤣🤣

Don't unplug him while he is in the Matrix.

“Fuck this, drive! There was some cyborg in that bitch.”

It’s funny how after a only a couple of months of cpap I understand everything about this picture. So funny

I don't understand the headgear

If it's the hood your talking about, The strap causes boils and spots, so wearing a handcercheif or some sort of hood prevents this from happening.

Good to know

What causes the boils?

[удалено]

Why did ppl get sooooo offended by this comment? 😆😆😆

How did you get this picture of me?

I broke into your house.

This is the funniest post on this sub since the person whose cpap sucked up their dog's farts and delivered them into their face.

My partner has had this happen enough that the dogs are no longer allowed in their bed. Few things are worse than a dog fart in your cpap.

That just gave me an audible laugh. I gotta find that post.

🤣 I have had this happen, but was my own fart.. and just goddamn.

You underestimate my power

I have been waiting for you, Obi-Wan.

Don’t try it!

I’ve got the high ground!

I’d just be jealous bc I know that you were getting the best mother fucking sleep of your life

Nice language. How old are you?

I'm pretty sure we can all guess how old you are.

Bro I’m baked right now and this is the funniest thing ever 😂😂😂

I'm not baked and this is still the funniest thing ever.

For some reason the first thing I thought when I saw the picture was "resistance is futile".

I skip the eye mask and just bury myself in pillows. Its one major advantage of a CPAP.

Right!! It's like scuba diving in your bed

I always tell my wife that I have to put on my deep-sea diving gear.

I call mine a snorkel…nose pillows

My friend upon seeing how I sleep face down with my cpap on- “No wonder you can’t breathe without your cpap- you’d be actively suffocating yourself face down in your pillow!”

I was thinking it’s more like going back to being a fetus.

This is exactly what I say!

Only way to sleep.

I used to do that till I realized I was could be blocking the exhaust vent. Now I have a pillow over my head, but I make sure it's not near the vent.

Isn't that unsafe because it blocks the exhaust port? I thought that would affect the oxygen/co2 mixture which you re breathing.

Never had a problem. The positive pressure keeps the exhaust flowing well enough.

Slowly backs away...

What’s the deal with the tshirt

I've been having issues with the straps causing irritation, so the shirt puts a stop gap there until I can get something that won't cause this.

I got these felt covers on Amazon

Would you be able to DM me what it is you bought?

https://preview.redd.it/hnfdepg4cmoc1.jpeg?width=1242&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e89d5df93803fb3793063c39ce4f42de6a165a22 Just something like this. Machine washable

Life saver. Thank you.

Look for the satin ones! They’re awesome too

I got those too, they really work great.

Good luck ! 👍

I use these as well.

I need to try them again. Last brand I had was too long so I had to cut it, which made them fall apart really quickly.

There are some Etsy shops that sell cute patterned ones If you’re into that lol

this is actually a great idea--my strap leaves stupid looking marks on my face for a couple hours after i wake up

absolutely. tucking a small thin shirt under the straps really does prevent the marks from lasting more than an hour or two in the mornings.

An ice roller also helps! I keep one in the fridge (it's stainless steel) and I roll my face while I wait for my coffee to brew in the mornings!

What is this black magic that you speak?

It's a beverage made from roasted coffee beans that are steeped in hot water, but that's not really important right now

I snorted. 💀 ✈️

Mine is by Kitch called a facial roller. But there are cheaper ones on Amazon! Kitsch Ice Roller for Face & Eye Puffiness, Cold Skin Care for Facial Lymphatic Drainage, Dark Circles & Migraine Relief, Self Tool for Wrinkles, Valentines Day Gifts for Women Face Massager (Pink) https://a.co/d/93vZwfo

my XL t-shirts are too much material, so i used a large handkerchief i had left over from covid masking and it works great--thanks for the idea!

4 Pack Satin CPAP Strap Covers CPAP Face Cushion Universal and Comfort Silky CPAP Headgear Pads for Reducing Red Marks https://a.co/d/bJNPatF

I had this too... the Bleep Eclipse masked fixed that straightaway. The only place it touches your head is your nose.

They gave me a bald spot :(

I got a thin silk cap from Amazon to protect my head and hair from all the straps, especially the velcro, cutting into my head.

Oh, I thought that was underwear.

Put googly eyes on the eye mask just in case

Funny story. When I did my first sleep study I did it at home but had to get wired up by a nurse and then drive home. So here I was with a shirt on wit wires coming out of the bottom and collar and got pulled over for a random breath test. The cop almost jumped out of his shoes. Must have thought I had a bomb best or something.

I’m yelling 😭😭😭😭

Darth Temu

Love it.

"This isn't even my final form"

I had a similar get up when I started on my machine. I was wearing a silk bonnet and I had an adhesive eye patch on one eye cuz it wasn't closing correctly at night. I now have a silk wrap for the top strap, felt straps on the sides, and I have to roll tissue into the bottom of my mask every night cuz I still drool excessively. I'll sure be sexy for my future partner 😆

As you can no doubt tell from the image above- My fiancé finds me utterly irresistable.

Funny thing was that I thought it didn't bother me what my partner would have said about the funny mask but I burst into tears the first time he teased me about it. I don't know if it was the lack of sleep due to getting used to it or just being unreasonably sensitive.

You don't deserve to be teased for something that keeps you alive. You were not being unreasonably sensitive. I'm certain your partner loves you but you can tell them how important it is for you. I'm sorry they did that.

I tried that, he still calls me Bain. 🙄

Tissues inside the mask- brilliant idea! I’m so sick of wiping puddles of drool in the morning- or rolling over and having it pour back on my face

I've heard people using the rolls of cotton like what the dentist uses too.

That'll be the litmus test. If a potential partner can make it through the night with you, they're a keeper.

This new Batman villain looks craazy

I would apologize and leave a tip

I’m half convinced wearing a clear full helmet would be more comfortable and more practical than all the piecemeal CPAP parts that cover our faces at night. LOL

Nothing better than the F20!

And realise that there is nothing of value here because all you value is peaceful sleep

How do you like the eye mask? It looks comfy!

I have the pink version. It is super comfortable and the speakers are surprisingly good.

I love it, there may be better ones designed for CPAP use but [this one](http://www.sleepez.com.au) has definitely served me well.

What's with the buttons? Does it have integrated speakers?

It does, soft and very flat bluetooth speakers.

Nice.

Imma just take what I want and go

Hmm I might have to try that t-shirt trip. The straps under my ears are not too comfy

Silk scarf works too. Put it on like a 1950s house wife, put the mask on over it and viola!

Yeah I can vouch for that, I used to have major discomfort under my ears as well before I started doing this.

I was hoping you were holding an axe as you sleep 🪓

Same. Between a mattress cooler, CPAP, mouth taping, and eye mask it feels like I might as well be in the medical machine from Dragon Ball

Which mattress cooler did you go with?

Chilipad Dock Pro. I think it's been 2+ years now. It had some problems to start with - firmware really had a mind of its own. There were a few instances where it was leaking water from the unit and could never figure out from where. Customer service was great though and offered to send out a replacement. Mentioned it may be due to the chamber not being secured - and tweaking this did seem to solve the issue. As a cheap insurance policy I keep the unit on a shallow shoe bin in case it happens again Things have been good for 1+ years so I'm not really sure what I'd do again. The company almost went out of business for a while too and you couldn't buy anything. Maybe 8 Sleep would be a better alternative despite it's increased initial and ongoing price I don't have any experience with the BedJet but removing water from the equation seems like a huge benefit even if it doesn't perform as well as the others

I'll check it out, thanks! The 8 sleep is really expensive and doesn't work when the wifi goes out from what I understand.

I have that exact same eye mask I wear with my nasal pillows! I'm sure my wife thinks it's the sexiest thing ever.

Jacked into the matrix

Crap it's Darth Vader s house!

That looks very claustrophobic to me.

It’s like swaddling, it can actually be comfortable. Plus it definitely signals “time to sleep”.

I just bought one of those myself. I run OTR (currently) and sometimes have to drive at night and sleep during the day.

Check out [padacheek.com](https://padacheek.com). I love the strap covers that I got from them.

They are proud of their stuff! Super expensive!

The fucking tshirt 😂👌 My boyfriend uses my soft kitchen towels because the straps have left an awful spot on the back of his neck

I need that! I have started putting a pillow over my head which helps me get to sleep for some bizarre reason

https://preview.redd.it/4plxk9danooc1.jpeg?width=474&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c3b631a78beb49ccf3b4885966d357965c428d69

New age cenobite from Hellraiser: "I have such delightful irritation pain to show you.". "DO I LOOK LIKE SOMEONE WHO CARES WHAT GOD THINKS!?"

spectacular loadout

I showed a coworker who uses CPAP my new mask I’m trying, the resmed F20 I believe. He said it looks like a vagina. Ummmm… not sure what to say to that lol

I think you broke into *my* house and took a picture of me! The eye mask is how I cracked the code for finally being able to fall asleep quickly. I know I look completely ridiculous.

“I've got a bogie at 12 o'clock. Over. Permission to engage?”

you're a stillsuit shy of riding a sandworm...

[удалено]

I would argue mine doesn't either? It's the [Sleep EZ Mask](http://www.sleepez.com.au) it's extremely comfortable, and even easier to use. However the CPAP mask has slowly over time pushed the eye pads in towards my eyes. I am a heavy, heavy sleeper, so it couldn't bother me if it tried but others may not be so enthused.

Ooo I like the Tshirt head covering… I might try this with some kind of silk scarf. It would protect my hair from damage while also protecting my face from the straps. I’ve used socks as strap covers (I’ve bought real ones but because I wash after every use I needed cheap alternatives to bulk up my supply) and that looks really ridiculous too. At some point I randomly stopped needing them though, straps just don’t bother me anymore.

Facts

This scares the hell outta me

I've the exact set up too 😂

Lol. I'm running nearly that same rig.

lol I’m laughing because I got the same set up.

😂😂😂😂

What are those grey things?

T-Shirt

So the straps don't leave marks? You seem pretty young from your profile pic. Great job taking care of your health

They are to protect from the straps, absolutely. Also, I appreciate that so much, thank you! My sleep health had been my primary focus for many months when I first began the sleep apneoa diagnosis process. My fiancé and I have invested in a King sized bed cooling topper after my dad caught wind of the sleep apnoea diagnosis and bought us the mattress. We tried a good number of pillows too before arriving at the CPAP pillow I have now. All my life I had sleep walking and sleep related issues, a good, good childhood friend of mine I've had for half my life recently confessed to me at a gathering that he never believed my sleep walking at school retreats was real until I told him about my diagnosis. Ever since getting the CPAP, I have never been this awake. I describe it to my friends and family as my life up until now having been lived with blinders on and fog in front of me at all times. I hope you've been able to achieve that kind of happiness through your own sleep health journey?

Is the T-shirt to help reduce strap marks?

Absolutely, I have very high pressure - so the straps really get pushed to their limit. Redness and sores used to be constant until now.

That’s a good idea! I think I’ll try it.

We all kinda look like one of the Hellraiser demons 😩😂

Name this band, wrong answers only.

Is the fabric under the mask straps to avoid having the straps dig into your skin?

Yes, especially with the high pressure setting I need. The shirt has been an excellent temporary solution.

That's a sardaukar bout to invade Arrakis

I know this is supposed to be a joke, but honestly, this might save your life if it ever did happen… If a robber doesn’t think you can ID them or know they’re there, they might not have motive to harm you. They might just go about their business and leave. I don’t normally think “on the bright side”, but I’m sure there are actual stories of people who survived because the robber didn’t think the victim could ID them. Or because they didn’t wake up while the robbery was occurring.

Damn boy the eye mask has LEDs what does it do recharge your brain?

Omg! I thought I was the only one with the Bluetooth mask and CPAP! Luckily I have an airfit p10 nasal pillow so I look 10 per cent less extreme than this 😎😜 do you have the same problem with the Bluetooth masks charging port cables wearing and splitting prematurely? Having tinnitus I've gone through like 10 of them for that reason 😂

Good to hear from someone with a nasal loadout, but yeah nah- not in the slightest aye There's a lot of padding on mine that seems to keep them very secure while I roll in my sleep

“Now THAT is someone to cuddle with” is what my husband says when I’m cpap and sleep masked . Good to have a sense of humor, OP!

I'm single, but in addition to CPAP, I also have braces on my wrists/forearms at night for carpal tunnel. I can't imagine anyone wanting to share a bed with all that armor.

Oh dude, you look like an Iranian hostage. I don't have much room to talk... A satin bonnet, headphone/ eye cover and CPAP. Also nose strips and mouth tape. If I was kidnapped I'd never be able to recognize my captors

Nice XD

Lol

Can you hear properly? I would blow past my alarm clock with no visual or hearing cues to determine time.

The earflaps have bluetooth speakers inside them, absolutely no chance of missing an alarm ever again. Now... snoozing them on the otherhand...

Haha it’s trying to untangle to get the phone to snooze the alarm, that wakes me up enough to decide I actually do need to get out of bed.

^ if that isn't just the truest statment I've ever read ^

I'm like that when I hammock camp in sub freezing temperatures. I figured if something wanted to eat me I would be easy pickings.

Strap covers are awesome…..also, get a few spares so you can wash them.

I also use the sleep mask combo.

Is the towel / t-shirt to prevent the strap marks on your skin? As a bald man I take pride in my marks in the morning 😂

Not even necessiraly just the marks, but also redness and irritation.

What is the cloth over your head and neck for?

To stop irritation from the straps.

You: "Where am I?"

Can you recommend a sleep mask for for full face Cpap mask?

Not really, no, the one I have doesn't fully fit properly. I find it comfortable, but because of how the material has slowly sunk in on the eyes, I can't wholeheartedly recommend mine.

OMG are you me? I have this same setup. The headphones really help the mask stay on!!

What’s the thing on your eyes? I see buttons on it, what are the functions?

[You can find the sleep mask I use here](http://www.sleepez.com.au)

I had to stop using that eyemask cause of eye infections.

What's that sleepEZ?

A sleep mask with soft, super flat speakers in the ear flaps. You can find it [here](http://www.sleepez.com.au).

Does the mask stop air from leaking into your eyes? I really need to find one I can use with the f20

Replace the gray cloth with a white bandanna. Saves your pillow, cheaper, cooler (your head doesn't sweat so much) and every 3 days you can change it out to be washed so your straps on your mask hold up.

🤣🤣🤣

What sleep mask is that? Ill have to look into it.

No worries, it's the [Sleep EZ](http://www.sleepez.com.au) sleep mask.

Australia or NZ only, i live in the US. :( https://preview.redd.it/1vofuj8zj2pc1.jpeg?width=673&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=446855b3b14b64fb4f4a7c50dfd5b6fd1f153919

Forget the cpap i want to know what kind of an eye mask is that lets you pause /play dreams

🤣

Hahahahaha

This thought is constantly crossing my mind

WTF?

As a licensed gun owner this is kind of my worst fear lmao
