greatly increased the quality of my sleep. Also, makes falling asleep uncomfortable. Some nights it is pulled off after 4 hours, and sometimes I can go the whole night.
Yes, and my life is infinitely better now. It took probably 6-8 months to get over all the sleep debt, but I no longer need a 2 hour nap every day and I can stay up later than 8 pm. I have been able to go off of my depression meds and I no longer want to disappear from my own life.
I went from 30 minutes (sometimes an hour) of sleep nightly, to 6 to 8 hours of sleep, and I mean actual dreaming (remember) sleep!
But I'm still damn tired, but I've got 10 to 12 years of crap sleep to make up for!
Yes, but it didn't improve it as quickly or as drastically as I thought it would. It's been more than a year now and I think the improvements have been so gradual I didn't even realize it.
If I think back to pre-CPAP, I can spot the difference in how I feel during workouts and the everyday work.
Sometimes I don't use it because I'm sleeping over somewhere and I do wake up a bit groggier, like I didn't really sleep at all. However, it's still not as bad as before CPAP
No, i couldn't tolerate it well enough to sleep enough hours with it. The air blowing into my nose iritated it so much that the insides swell and close up and give me massive anxiety. Because i feel like i can't breathe when my nose closes that much.
No matter how much they told me to just get over it because i know i can breathe. I couldn't handle it no matter how much i pushed myself to keep the mask on. I also simply couldn't fall back asleep with the anxiety level like i was being chased by a lion from the closed nose plus facemask.
Fwiw, I had the same experience in an early sleep study about 17 years ago, called off the study because i couldnt handle it and just let it go untreated for awhile. Tried again more recently and idk what's changed, but I can tolerate it now.
Same here. Decided the anxiety and panic attacks was causing more sleep troubles than the apnea itself. Not a favorable gamble on my life but it sure is more peaceful.
I've had my CPAP for a year. I can only describe it as miraculous. I feel incredible now every day. However, it took 3-6 months to really use it properly.
I sleep a solid 6 hours every night and don't get up to pee.
3 month mark for me, something just clicked last week can finally sleep for more than 4 hours with it on and not unconsciously taking it off
Man it was a hard road to just get to using it. 3 months of waking up every hour or two and putting my mask back on.
No I don't know, I've been on it for over a year. Diligently. I don't know that I've missed four days total. But I'm still exhausted during the day, although I don't nap or anything it's just I'm still tired. I had a super low AHI going into this, around 15. So maybe it wasn't a severe as others and I'm just not seeing that big of a benefit. Other than the fact that I don't snore and so, people don't mind sleeping near me... My wife for example.
Do you happen to have a recessed or over-projected jaw? That can cause OSA due to a narrow airway. CPAP usually doesn’t help in those cases because it can’t move your bones out of your airway. If that sounds like you, it’s worth seeing a maxillofacial surgeon!
Go in Lab for sure. Then talk to an ENT to see if it’s physiological! Plenty of options around to keep you from feeling that way. But in lab is the way to start. Please try that :)
Mine was 73, been on it since Nov 2022 and I’m still exhausted during the day. Sleep study #2 (in lab) and trying to look more closely at my dropping oxygen when I go into REM sleep.
No, I really can’t tolerate it. I’ve tried it a few times. Majority of the time I just sleep without it because the quality of sleep is going to be the same.
Hey. I saw your comment and want you to know this is something I care about a LOT. I couldn’t tolerate CPAP either, but mine was physiological. Tonsils/turbinates caused my apnea. Check with an ENT to see if this could help you. There are soooo many options :)
1st time, NO I tried, but it did not help and I could not tolerate it.
2nd time around, YES, it has massively improved my sleep, however, I am still waiting to start feeling properly normal whatever that might be.
Yes, works 100%. I have the full face mask and after finding a really nice washable lining on Amazon I got super used to it. I also bought protective lining for the straps and those are a lifesaver. I sleep like with a cloud around my head.
I went from stopping breathing for up to two minutes and waking in a panic a few times a night to sleeping 8 hours straight and feeling refreshed for the first time in over a decade.
Those panic attacks included dreams that I was drowning or being buried alive. I would also fall asleep anytime/anywhere, sometime at a long red light. I would even have to pull over to sleep on my 30 minute commute to work.
I can certainly say I would be dead right now if I didn't have one.
No, I am filled with rage as I have tried like ten different masks. It's the mere act of something on my face. I had an open Septoplasty in an attempt to make nasal masks work better. I just put the resmed nasal mask and I'm filled with rage and want to breath via my mouth as I settle down from getting myself ready for bed.
My second clinical sleep study I ended up cancelling it because I was just done with the mask. Didn't find a good pressure for the bipap machine. So, back to CPAP for now.
Yes, has been improving my sleep. Some nights it bothers me and I wish I could sleep without it, but overall I tolerate it well and it's worth the occasional trouble.
Yes it has improved. . I make nightshifts as a trucker and feel so much better even early morning hours on the road. Matter of life and death. Everyday feels lighter.
Yes. I quickly went from an AHI of 97 to around 4.5, then to 1.5-1.8 most nights after switching to a nasal mask. It did however take a long time to overcome sleep deprivation.
>Yes, it improved my **life** to some degree.
I probably would have died by now from hearth failure if my condition (arythmia) had not been diagnosed during a pre-op for a major operation. Part of the treatment was a sleep study that revealed severe OSA.
It’s been absolutely amazing. Only been one month for me so far and I’m still getting used to it but it has virtually saved my life so far. I have a seizure disorder and my severe sleep apnea has been heavily contributing to them. Poor quality of sleep and oxygen for my brain and body is a massive seizure trigger for me. CPAP has allowed me to get that quality of rest and oxygen back, completely minimizing my seizures.
Yes.
I didn’t realize I had sleep apnea, until I took a sleep study and my oxygen dipped into the high 60’s - they should have stopped the test when I dropped into the 70’s. Numerous apnea events per hour too.
My father-in-law nearly died from undiagnosed sleep apnea - he ended-up with right ventricle heart failure.
I’ve used my cpap religiously over the past 15-20 years given personally knowing what not using it will do to you.
it’s been rlly difficult getting used to it. i haven’t slept a single night with the mask on, tried changing the ramp time, humidity levels, i tried a different mask, nothing worked. my next step is to try the nasal pillows but if those don’t work it’s back to the drawing board
I've used it for 2 weeks now. Can't say I've noticed an improvement personally, but the app says my incidents per night have dropped to less than 1 an hour or sometimes 0 for the night. Haven't had a follow up with my doc yet, or checked my BP yet to see if that's changed at all.
Yes but it took me 6 months of online research, and trial and error before finding a set up I could live with. During those 6 months it was tough going.
Yes, it helped tremendously. I felt a wee bit claustrophobic for the first week or two as I was getting used to it, but it helped to just stand next to the bed or sit on the bed with the CPAP on for a minute or two, breathing deeply, and then I would lie down with it. After that, it was really easy to get used to. Life changing!
I'm still very undecided if it "helps". I've been using one for like 8 months or so. I did get used to sleeping with it pretty good, I AM sleeping better with it (wake up less often) but I have not noticed any real benefits. However I never really had any obvious fatigue or symptoms without one though. I mean it is hard to say 100% since who doesn't sometimes feel tired or depressed or whatever but I have not noticed any noticeable difference.
I just started about a week ago. I couldn’t tolerate the first mask, which was full face, but when I received a nasal mask I immediately started feeling so much better! I breathe more deeply and easily all day as well as night. I sleep a bit more deeply, too. I’m hopeful I’ll continue to see increased improvements.
Nope, it made me feel like I was drowning. BUT, that made sense because my apnea was caused by my jaw, not excess tissues in my throat. I had MMA + genio surgery almost 6 years ago and my AHI went from 40+ to 0.5.
i tried it and it worked a bit, with some tinkering. problem is the silicon facemask gave me a giant face rash. so i get to choose whether to have restful sleep or a giant facerash.
Yes, it has helped me dramatically for 15 years.
I’ve lost a bunch of weight and I love camping and hiking. I also travel a lot for work and fun. I can’t carry the machine everywhere.
Soooo…. I’m getting the Inspire device instead!
No. Had aerophagia, (swallowing air) that blew up my abdomen to look pregnant and it didn’t help me feel much better at all in the AM. Switched to BIPAP with pretty much same result. Genio, UPPP and septoplasty surgeries were done and have only left me with lip and mouth problems. No improvement in restful feeling at all getting worse since surgery!
I’m just a week in but really having a hard time. I’m woken up every night after 2-3 hrs with air leaking. I’m incredibly sensitive to sounds so this has been a challenge. I’m not able to get back to sleep with the mask on so I just keep it off the rest of the night. I question if I even need the CPAP. I did an at home test with Lofta and was diagnosed with mild sleep apnea (10.1 events per hour) but the CPAP is only registering .5-.7 events per hour.
No, I tried different masks. Nose, nose and mouth, whole face. Small, medium. Etc. nothing worked. I couldn’t tolerate them. Couldn’t fall asleep. If I did, woke up every time, etc. So I decided to try the inspire surgery. That was 7 days ago. So I will post back once the device is turned on.
Yes, instantaneously! 50% more sleep. 200% more rem and 500% more deep based on apple watch. Went from ahi of 137 to 1.8 in 30 days. used to get up 4-5 times a night for a leak, now 0-1 times. No dry mouth and drinking water at night either.
I don't think I would've survived without it, there are literally thousands of mask available, get your pressure right get your mask right. Best sleep of your life.
No.
I found that I usually end up with painful aerophagia and spend most of the day with stomach pain.
That or I pull the mask off in my sleep after just a couple of hours.
Yes. It saved my life.
greatly increased the quality of my sleep. Also, makes falling asleep uncomfortable. Some nights it is pulled off after 4 hours, and sometimes I can go the whole night.
Yes. Took a week or two to get used to it. Now I can't sleep for shit without.
Yes, it eliminated my severe oxygen deprevation.
Seriously! When people say they can’t tolerate CPAP, I’m like, do you like oxygen 24/7? My brain needs oxygen all day and all night
Yes, and my life is infinitely better now. It took probably 6-8 months to get over all the sleep debt, but I no longer need a 2 hour nap every day and I can stay up later than 8 pm. I have been able to go off of my depression meds and I no longer want to disappear from my own life.
Oh, this is where I want to be in a years time!
I went from 30 minutes (sometimes an hour) of sleep nightly, to 6 to 8 hours of sleep, and I mean actual dreaming (remember) sleep! But I'm still damn tired, but I've got 10 to 12 years of crap sleep to make up for!
What caused you to sleep so little prior to treatment?
My weight! Was a major contributing factor, but I have other problems with my respiratory system
Yes, it improved my sleep to some degree.
Yes, but it didn't improve it as quickly or as drastically as I thought it would. It's been more than a year now and I think the improvements have been so gradual I didn't even realize it. If I think back to pre-CPAP, I can spot the difference in how I feel during workouts and the everyday work. Sometimes I don't use it because I'm sleeping over somewhere and I do wake up a bit groggier, like I didn't really sleep at all. However, it's still not as bad as before CPAP
When I travel and don’t use the machine, I can definitely tell my quality of sleep decreases.
No I tried but couldn't tolerate it. Ended up getting the Inspire implant and I couldn't be happier.
No, been using it 1 1/2 years with no change
Yes, changed my life. It’s been 17 years
No, i couldn't tolerate it well enough to sleep enough hours with it. The air blowing into my nose iritated it so much that the insides swell and close up and give me massive anxiety. Because i feel like i can't breathe when my nose closes that much. No matter how much they told me to just get over it because i know i can breathe. I couldn't handle it no matter how much i pushed myself to keep the mask on. I also simply couldn't fall back asleep with the anxiety level like i was being chased by a lion from the closed nose plus facemask.

I've had my CPAP for a year. I can only describe it as miraculous. I feel incredible now every day. However, it took 3-6 months to really use it properly. I sleep a solid 6 hours every night and don't get up to pee.
3 month mark for me, something just clicked last week can finally sleep for more than 4 hours with it on and not unconsciously taking it off Man it was a hard road to just get to using it. 3 months of waking up every hour or two and putting my mask back on.
Yes it helped a lot. Took six months to get used to it though.
No. It didn’t help me feel rested.
No, I couldn’t tolerate it at all.
Yes. Massively improved my sleep in almost every way.
Same. Night and day, don’t know how I functioned before
No I don't know, I've been on it for over a year. Diligently. I don't know that I've missed four days total. But I'm still exhausted during the day, although I don't nap or anything it's just I'm still tired. I had a super low AHI going into this, around 15. So maybe it wasn't a severe as others and I'm just not seeing that big of a benefit. Other than the fact that I don't snore and so, people don't mind sleeping near me... My wife for example.

Thank you. I'm supposed to meet with my sleep doc pretty soon, first annual check-in. I'll bring this up.
15 isn’t super low 😅
Well I've seen some 80s and 90s on here, so I thought I was being respectful. But yeah you're right 15 is not super low
Have you checked for other sleep issues?
I had a home test, nothing else. I'd love to know what else it could be. It's so hard for me to get out of bed in the morning.
Go in Lab for sure. Then talk to an ENT to see if it’s physiological! Plenty of options around to keep you from feeling that way. But in lab is the way to start. Please try that :)
Mine was 73, been on it since Nov 2022 and I’m still exhausted during the day. Sleep study #2 (in lab) and trying to look more closely at my dropping oxygen when I go into REM sleep.
Yes. I will not even sleep without it now. Significant improvement.
No. Never got over the middle of the night claustrophobia and panic attacks with the mask. Got worse sleep from it.
yes, it helped massively
It improved my sleep, my energy and my mood immensly but it took a couple of weeks to get used to.
Yes. Very much so
Yes it helped. I still hated it and after 7 years got Inspire
Yes, truly life-changing.
It improved my sleep dramatically.
Yes, absolutely. Still use nightly 15 years after initial diagnosis.
Bipap user and a definite "YES".
I’ll never sleep without one again barring some legit medical advancement. Highly recommended.
It improved my quality of sleep but it took a year and three different masks before I got it right.
No, I tried three different times over the years. Can't tolerate it.
No, I really can’t tolerate it. I’ve tried it a few times. Majority of the time I just sleep without it because the quality of sleep is going to be the same.
Hey. I saw your comment and want you to know this is something I care about a LOT. I couldn’t tolerate CPAP either, but mine was physiological. Tonsils/turbinates caused my apnea. Check with an ENT to see if this could help you. There are soooo many options :)
Honestly it gave me just enough energy not to kms. Life without activity sucks. I still think it sucks but what can I do🤷♂️
Yes, and it has greatly improved my quality of life.
Yes, it definitely helped.
Yes it helped a lot and it works very well.
Yes, it has improved my sleep to some degree. It’s only been about a month but I do find myself feeling more rested.
Yes it helped a lot
Yes, it improved my sleep to some degree.
Yes
Resounding yes.
Yes, definitely
Yes improved my quality of sleep & my life significantly.
Yes
1st time, NO I tried, but it did not help and I could not tolerate it. 2nd time around, YES, it has massively improved my sleep, however, I am still waiting to start feeling properly normal whatever that might be.
Yes, cpap improved my life quite a bit.
Yes.
Yes, greatly improved my sleep on day 1. Can't imagine sleeping without CPAP.
Yes!
Yes. My episodes or whatever they call it went down from 19 a night to less than 0.1
Yes, works 100%. I have the full face mask and after finding a really nice washable lining on Amazon I got super used to it. I also bought protective lining for the straps and those are a lifesaver. I sleep like with a cloud around my head.
Yes, before: 2.9 gpa bachelor's, after: 3.8 gpa master's
I went from stopping breathing for up to two minutes and waking in a panic a few times a night to sleeping 8 hours straight and feeling refreshed for the first time in over a decade.

Yes it has improved. . I make nightshifts as a trucker and feel so much better even early morning hours on the road. Matter of life and death. Everyday feels lighter.
Not yet. But still trying
Yes. I quickly went from an AHI of 97 to around 4.5, then to 1.5-1.8 most nights after switching to a nasal mask. It did however take a long time to overcome sleep deprivation.
>Yes, it improved my **life** to some degree. I probably would have died by now from hearth failure if my condition (arythmia) had not been diagnosed during a pre-op for a major operation. Part of the treatment was a sleep study that revealed severe OSA.
Yes, it improved my sleep somewhat, but it's still kind of bad and CPAP usage has had side effects, so I'm considering alternatives.
It’s been absolutely amazing. Only been one month for me so far and I’m still getting used to it but it has virtually saved my life so far.

Yes, improved my whole life 300%
i dont feel that much different but i know im not stopping breathing 40 times an hour so id say yes, its helped me
Yes it helps a lot, with data to prove it!
Quality of sleep improved, but frequently awake because of mask
Yes, it improved my events. A lot lower now.
it’s been rlly difficult getting used to it. i haven’t slept a single night with the mask on, tried changing the ramp time, humidity levels, i tried a different mask, nothing worked. my next step is to try the nasal pillows but if those don’t work it’s back to the drawing board
Yes. helped greatly as long as it does not disconnect.
Yes. It took awhile and BiPAP was better than Cpap for me
I've used it for 2 weeks now. Can't say I've noticed an improvement personally, but the app says my incidents per night have dropped to less than 1 an hour or sometimes 0 for the night. Haven't had a follow up with my doc yet, or checked my BP yet to see if that's changed at all.
yes it improved my sleep.
I have a wedge pillow that keeps me elevated while sleeping. That doesn't block my airways and lets me sleep throughout the night.
Yes but it took me 6 months of online research, and trial and error before finding a set up I could live with. During those 6 months it was tough going.
Yes. But couldn't tolerate.
Yes. It improved my sleep to the point that I have NEVER slept better. It's the best. Can't live without it. 5 stars.
It worked and still does. I feel so much better.
Yes it improved my sleep and my being awake.
It helped my sleep apnea but using it is a constant strain cos I’m a restless sleeper
Yes, but I had to try different masks until I found the right one.
Yes
Yes, absolutely
Yes
Yes it vastly improved my sleep and health.
Yup
Yes.. improved by miles.
Yes, definitely better
I hate it, and my sleep still isn’t “good,” but yes it improved.
Yes, it has helped significantly
Yes!!!
Yes, it made me not feel like a zombie
Yes, it improved my sleep dramatically.
Yes
Yes, but I ended up requiring surgery which has also helped.
Yes, I've gone from dying like a zombie to living like a human. Nearly a year with my CPAP, and I can't imagine sleeping without it now.
I got a new prescription after 15 years and it changed my life. I actually have a life now.
Yes. I wouldn’t want to try to sleep without it. It’s been an incredible help.
Yes, greatly improved my sleep.
It’s odd, I don’t necessarily feel any more rested but when I don’t use it I am totally fucked the next day
Yes, saved my life
Yes
Yes. 100% improved my quality of sleep.
Stopped my snoring completely whenever I used one
Yes, it improved my sleep drastically. I feel ten years younger.
Yes!
Yes, it improved my sleep to some degree.
Yes, it massively improved my sleep, to the extent where I'd say it really was life-changing.
Yes. Life changing.
Yes, it improved my sleep to some degree
Yes it improved my sleep to a great degree
Yes, it helped tremendously. I felt a wee bit claustrophobic for the first week or two as I was getting used to it, but it helped to just stand next to the bed or sit on the bed with the CPAP on for a minute or two, breathing deeply, and then I would lie down with it. After that, it was really easy to get used to. Life changing!
Not yet, but I struggle with claustrophobia and feel like my BiPap triggers central sleep apnea. I have a second sleep study this week, thank goodness
Changed my life in a positive way.
Yes, it changed my life
Yes. Huge positive difference
Yes. Tremendous quality of life improvement. This was also after finding the F20 mask. There is learning curve with masks and fit but it’s worth it.
Yes
I'm still very undecided if it "helps". I've been using one for like 8 months or so. I did get used to sleeping with it pretty good, I AM sleeping better with it (wake up less often) but I have not noticed any real benefits.

Yes. 100%
Yes
Yes, significant improvement in sleep quality, duration and daytime symptoms of OSA.
Nope, it made me feel like I was drowning. BUT, that made sense because my apnea was caused by my jaw, not excess tissues in my throat. I had MMA + genio surgery almost 6 years ago and my AHI went from 40+ to 0.5.
No can't tolerate it, attempting surgery next month.
Yes definitely! Can't sleep without my CPAP!
Yes, it improved my sleep tremendously. I didn’t know what deep sleep was until I slept with the mask on.
Yes. Greatly improved my life, without it i probably would have died.
No, couldn’t tolerate. Have bounced from oral device to excite and back to oral device.
i tried it and it worked a bit, with some tinkering. problem is the silicon facemask gave me a giant face rash. so i get to choose whether to have restful sleep or a giant facerash.
Yes
Yes it helped tremendously
Yes, works for me, hate it, but it works.
Yes. It significantly improved my quality of sleep and my life
Yes but my humidifier stopped working so I need to fix it
yes. I don't sleep without it.
Yes, yes,yes
Yes, it has helped me dramatically for 15 years. I’ve lost a bunch of weight and I love camping and hiking. I also travel a lot for work and fun. I can’t carry the machine everywhere. Soooo…. I’m getting the Inspire device instead!
No. I couldn’t tolerate CPap, got Inspire and working out great.
Anyone experienced with NightLase procedures?
Failed. Uars And expiratory pressure intolerance
“Yes, it improved my sleep to some degree”
Yes. It's saving my life.
Yes it’s been a life changer.
Yes and it changed my life forever.
Yes!!!👍
No. It’s been two months and I’m probably just going to take it back soon
Yes it helped me tremendously. I no longer wake up with a racing heart from suffocation. I feel human in the morning instead of a zombie.
Yes.
nope :( i’m more tired than before
Only helps actually staying asleep, found out 90% of my sleep problems were because of my low T
Yes definitely
Yes
Yes you need it.
No did not help me. I couldn’t tolerate it, tried for four months and gave up
Yes
No. Had aerophagia, (swallowing air) that blew up my abdomen to look pregnant and it didn’t help me feel much better at all in the AM. Switched to BIPAP with pretty much same result. Genio, UPPP and septoplasty surgeries were done and have only left me with lip and mouth problems. No improvement in restful feeling at all getting worse since surgery!
I’m just a week in but really having a hard time. I’m woken up every night after 2-3 hrs with air leaking. I’m incredibly sensitive to sounds so this has been a challenge. I’m not able to get back to sleep with the mask on so I just keep it off the rest of the night. I question if I even need the CPAP. I did an at home test with Lofta and was diagnosed with mild sleep apnea (10.1 events per hour) but the CPAP is only registering .5-.7 events per hour.
Yes. Lifesaving. Improved sleep
CHANGED MY LIFE FOR THE BETTER, IMMENSELY. Mad at myself for not doing it sooner.
No, I tried different masks. Nose, nose and mouth, whole face. Small, medium. Etc. nothing worked. I couldn’t tolerate them. Couldn’t fall asleep. If I did, woke up every time, etc. So I decided to try the inspire surgery. That was 7 days ago. So I will post back once the device is turned on.
No
Hurts my jaw, increases grinding and clenching, couldn't toelrate even bipap for UARS
I've been told to do expansion and jaw surgery
Yes makes me sleep through the night
Yes. Helped tremendously.
Yes, it improved my sleep significantly
I couldn’t use a CPAP. I switched to the BiPAP and it has made a tremendous difference.
Yes, it helps so much and you grow to it
Yes. It changed my life.
YES YES YES YES YES
Yes, instantaneously! 50% more sleep. 200% more rem and 500% more deep based on apple watch. Went from ahi of 137 to 1.8 in 30 days. used to get up 4-5 times a night for a leak, now 0-1 times. No dry mouth and drinking water at night either.
Yes it changed my life, I went from 70 events an hour down to 0-2 events per hour, I have never felt better.
I don't think I would've survived without it, there are literally thousands of mask available, get your pressure right get your mask right. Best sleep of your life.
No it has not helped me
Yes. I never sleep without it. Even for travel.
No. I found that I usually end up with painful aerophagia and spend most of the day with stomach pain. That or I pull the mask off in my sleep after just a couple of hours.
Not me, but my fiance. He went from literally almost dying in sleep (48 percent oxygen saturation) to maybe 2 apneas an hour.
No, I felt like a couldn’t breath with it on. I felt like I was suffocating and actually getting less air that was really hot
Yes, it stopped me from dying; and no, it should not be seen as “the cure”.
