[quote=Anonymous]DH here who has used a CPAP for a number of years. Even now I occasionally wake up in the morning to find that I have removed the mask during the night without realizing it. And sometimes, about the time I’d wake up anyway, the noise of the machine wakes me up and I take off the mask to get another few minutes of sleep. In addition to controlling my snoring I find it to be psychologically comforting in that once I put it on my mind tells me “time for sleep,” and I’m out like a light. Besides that, my wife knows she can’t start or continue a conversation since I can’t answer with the mask on other than grunting so that cuts out her nighttime chatter.

Thanks to my experience my brother, whose wife had complained for years about his snoring, was also tested for sleep apnea, got a CPAP, and, after initially resisting it, now says it was a great decision to begin using it. My dad, still trucking along at age 93, has shaken the walls of his home with his snoring for decades but I guess my mom is able to put up with it. Whatever sleep deprivation he has had hasn’t slowed him down.

I agree it’s an ugly contraption and hardly conducive to romance. If I were ever to be single again I’d be at a loss as to how to bed a woman. It’d be a choice of no overnight visits, sleeping in a separate room or on a couch (how’s that for romance), keeping her awake with my snoring, or pulling out that mask and sending her running. Luckily my sleep issues did not develop while I was single and none of my earlier bed-mates ever mentioned that I snored.
