Wow, I can't believe how different areas of the country treat sleep studies. I had my sleep study, was called back in a week to tell me that my obstructive sleep apnea was of a level that warranted a CPAP machine. So they schedule another sleep study with you using a CPAP. You go in a little earlier than the original study so you can have plent of time to try out the different masks. I chose the 'nose pillow' also. After you choose a mask that fits you the best they turn out the llights and you go to sleep. They had to wake me the next morning, I slept that good.

So I have done well with my CPAP. Many mornings I wake up and find my mask on the floor. But I don't snore, I think it's impossible. I use it when I nap and get much better rest. I have a fat little face so it did take some getting used to the feel of the mask on but once I'm asleep I'm out of it.

Oh, insurance paid all but my co-pay. But I'm on Medicare due to SSD.

Sometime when all the family is together we are going to have a family picture with all out CPAPs. My Mom, me and my sister. Her husband and my son in law and also a sister in law. So i think that's 6 of us. I'm sure for all but my son in law it's because of obesity.

Good luck
