Has anyone used a C-Pap machine for sleep apnea?

How uncomfortable is it to wear? Can you sleep better with it? Does it make a noise?

I used a Bi-pap. I had to have a full face mask because it seems I couldn’t keep my mouth closed during sleep and the air simply escaped out that path rather than developing the pressure required. Id say that’s the biggest issue… the integrity of the face mask. As to comfort… it took me a month or better to adjust to wearing it but ultimately you will. You will find that your mouth will become overly dry with its use however. As to noise there is a fan in the one I used to create the air pressure/flow but because its constant it is something you learn to “tune” out.
As to results, you will definitely feel more rested.. noticeably so.
I have been using a c-Pap machine for about 14 years with excellent results. I takes a little time to get used to it, but if you stick with it after about 2 weeks you don’t even realize it is there.
I can’t hardly sleep without it any more. The machines available today are very quiet and very portable. I travel a lot and my c-Pap travels with me.
