Good morning Fat Secret.
Here's a comedy album with track 8, "Sandman's Whimsy," waxing whimsical on the use of a CPAP and sleeping with someone who snores.

I used a CPAP regularly back in 2017. That, along with other lifestyle changes, resulted in me losing over 100 pounds that year. My guiding principle back then was that what I was doing wasn't working, and the definition of insanity is trying the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
With various moves for work in 2018, I stopped tolerating the CPAP. I finally followed up this year with getting a new device, an auto PAP.
The technology has come a long way. The auto PAP senses apnea and only applies high pressure if needed. Otherwise it blows at a low pressure of 4 cm of water. If you didn't tolerate a CPAP and have untreated sleep apnea, I would recommend you find the right pulmonologist and ask about getting an auto PAP.
Similar to the my experience in 2017, I find getting good sleep when you haven't been to be nothing short of life-changing.
I had to experiment some with a chin strap to stop mouth breathing, but I got just a nose mask to work. That way, I can keep good mask fit while having a beard. The last two nights I've had good sleep with the device. There's an app where you can review your sleep data.
My goal this week is to have good sleep like this every night. I'm traveling Thursday because it's time for some "fixing" of the girl dog on Friday, and I'll be bringing the auto Pap with me.
