So I also had 50 events an hour according to a sleep study. I have been religious about wearing the CPAP (nasal pillow) for about nine months. I do so because of family history of heart disease and because I snore. However, truthfully I absolutely hate it. I find it difficult to sleep with - and I’m a heavy sleepy. I never experienced any spike in energy or other feel good benefits that people speak of. I will continue to wear it with the hope that I get used to it and it prevents heart damage. I hate it so much I am considering the surgical implant of a device that stimulates the throat/tongue if it detects an episode. Sounds extreme but I can’t stand wearing it that much.

It can also have a profound effect on your sex life. Women just aren’t into guys who look like they’ hunting Japanese Zeros in the South Pacific and sound like Darth Vader.....
