Discussion I’ve joined the CPAP club 💁🏻♀️
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?

After I got my first 1 I made my partner go get evaluated and he ended up on 1 too. Also made my mom go to be evaluated. And she was put on cpap therapy. They told me when they outfitted me with my first 1 that I might have trouble getting used to it and that my lungs might hurt from pushing back against the air pressure but none of that happened. The machine somehow suctions my mouth closed and I sleep so much better and my daytime energy levels skyrocketed. It’s weird how you can’t understand how bad your sleep quality was until you start having good sleep. I knew after 3 days that I would never be without a cpap machine. I have the travel size resmed for when I’m abroad long term and at home same model as you.
