7. After a bit of an interrupted night - a sore septum night last night - with rough sleep from 5am when I took off the mask, I can't believe I used to cope on sleep interrupted by bad dreams and abrupt gasping wakings. I don't know how I did it.

So if you think you might have #sleepApnea #sleepApnoea get yourself checked out. If you need to sleep with a #CPAP it's not the end of the world. Some people sail through, I made hard work of it, but it works in the end.

This is an update on my experience of learning to sleep with a #CPAP machine. It's intended primarily as encouragement for anyone newly diagnosed with #sleepApnea #sleepApnoea, because for me, early on, reading about other people's success stories was the only way I stuck with it.

I was diagnosed November 2024, which I wasn't really expecting. I really really wasn't expecting to be told I needed to sleep with a CPAP machine and was a bit alarmed at the prospect esp being claustrophopbic cont'd

Does anyone who uses nasal pillows find they get pressure on the septum? Sometimes it can get quite uncomfortable and tonight it's been bad enough to have to take the mask off and could be what's wakened me. Other nights it's not such a problem. Is this a known issue? I'm not aware that I have a particularly huge septum 😄 Mask is a small. #cpap #sleepapnoea

For anyone with #sleepapnoea : get a high quality anti snore bite guard.

I've now used it for several weeks. And while the beginning took some getting used to, but after a couple weeks of tweaking the "strength": it's a massive improvement.
From basically suffocating at night to actually getting oxigen

I don't always feel like absolute garbage after waking up even after 12h of sleep.
