You buy a machine that pushes air into your lungs while you sleep.
You then spend the first half hour of the each morning feeling like shit as you try to get all the air that went down the wrong pipe out of your stomach.
(Yes, that's what happens after sleep doctors have done multiple passes of calibration on it. They are doctors, they aren't wizards.)
I luckily haven’t had that… I have had some dry mouth though. I do feel more refreshed so I think it is definitely helpful.
In NSW, Australia, if you have a CPAP machine you can tell your electricity company (a doctor fills in a form) and they cannot disconnect your electricity for non-payment, and the government pays a small rebate. Just in case anyone else from my state is reading this :-)
