damn, does it really make that much of a difference? how does it feel now with the machine?
my doctor and i suspect i have sleep apnea. I’ll lose up to like 2 hours of sleep per night from micro-awakenings (so out of 8 hours “slept” ill get only 6 hours of actual sleep), but ive been putting off a proper sleep study for a few months now. ive been starting to wonder how it feels to actually be rested for once
I can second this. I have my CPAP for about a year now. I had 66(!) sleep interruptions per hour. Yes, the mask can be awkward especially in the beginning. But the result is absolutely worth it. When I woke up after my first night it was such an enormous difference!
Mind you, not everyone may feel such a difference immediately. It may take a few nights or even weeks.
For me it did. After doing the sleep study I found out I have a moderate case, around 18 awakenings per hour. After using the machine it’s down to one an hour.
The day I got the machine I was pretty tired so I decided to take a nap. Not unusual for me and normally when I nap it lasts about an hour. I put the mask on and slept for four hours immediately and my partner at the time said that she couldn’t even wake me up. I couldn’t remember having such an amazing sleep before.
