I have Obstructive Sleep Apnea. After two sleep studies, I now wear a nighttime CPAP mask. If you suffer from OSA, what device do you use?

I snored. I would stop breathing when I slept. Scary, huh? These and several other side effects are symptoms of Sleep Apnea. After much research on my part, I took 2 sleep studies and was promptly admitted to the growing percentage of people who wear sleep masks of some kind at night to restore healthy sleep. IF YOU ARE AN OSA PATIENT, what devices have you used, and are you having good results?

I did my sleep studies though the VA, and I am on the third machine that they have issued from them. I have been on the hose for over 5 years & I can't get a good nights sleep w/o it now.

I was finally able to get an upgrade to the mask pictured above -- unfortunately I find myself going round and round with the sleep therapist over the sleep profile that is programmed into the unit. For some ungodly reason, after a half-hour or so the unit startles me awake by massively force-feeding me air when I am just at the REM sleep stage. It is very disconcerting.
