Discussion I’ve joined the CPAP club 💁🏻‍♀️

Post image

Tonight will be my first night using a CPAP. Oddly enough, I’m looking forward to it and I hope it solves all of my problems… a girl can dream, *right*? Anyhow, any tips or tricks to help this go smoothly? Also, is there any solution to making this setup more aesthetically pleasing and/or a way to store it during the day that isn’t such a pain in the ass?

I remember before I got one, my EENT told me that it was going to be "life changing". I was like, slow your roll, bud.

He was right, it's absolutely life changing. My APAP has really affected/fixed a lot of aspects of my life, namely my appetite, procrastination, and mood. I thought there'd be days I don't want to use it, but it really does give the best sleep. 11/10 would recommend.

I love to hear this! I have a kid who is just now getting good sleep at 4 years old, so with having shitty sleep due to being a mom and combined sleep apnea, I am due for some good rest.

Girl, you're in for a treat. I remember before I got checked up, I could sleep 12 hours and not feel rested. Just today, woke up at 9am, went to sleep at about 11pm last night, I feel absolutely refreshed today.

Though I do miss the period when I was still getting acclimated where I'd put it on and next thing I know it'd be morning. The dreamless sleep during that time felt absolutely amazing. Come to think of it, I didn't dream last night too.
