There are two machines one for testing if you have sleep apnea and the other is what you sleep in every night to help you breath etc if you have severe apnea. I had mild apnea, which was enough to secure funding but I did not require the machine. To be honest they look kind of bulky and I was so glad I did not need one. xx
tbh the newer ones are less bulky and it isnt an issue it just sits on the bed side cabinet about the same size as an radio alarm clockhttp://www.cpap.com/viewImage.php?PNum=2114&Image=Respironics-M-Series-REMstar-Plus-CPAP-Lid-Up.jpg i have one like this it adjusts it self.

Hi
I have a CPAP machine - The mask is a little uncomfortable at first - it was quite hard trying to breath through my nose and not my mouth, but you get used to it. You should start to feel better almost immediatly. I have severe obsructive sleep apnea and was sleeping so badly that i woke up feeling "hung over" most days - Feel so much better now. I've had my machine since June 08. Its relatively quite and its quite compact, its sits on my bedside table easily. Good luck with it.:4635:

I only had apnea mildly and always woke up with the sickly headache and feeling hungover, since my surgery I have not felt like that at all its amazing how just dropping a small amount of weight can affect this...I now have loads of energy as I sleep better at night...just wish I could sleep when I have been working nights...again only got 4 hours and bright eyed and bushy tailed just now lol..xx
