CPAP fact: You can have need of a CPAP without snoring! I had a good doc who was trying to diagnose my then-mysterious fatigue. When the usual tests showed nothing, they wanted me to do a sleep test.

I protested. I didn't perceive myself to have a sleep problem, and my husband never heard me snore. Finally I gave in and went, and sure enough I had sleep apnea. It was just quiet.

This wasn't the whole answer to my fatigue but it helped a great deal, and had that doc not pushed, I don't think I'd ever know this. Sleep tests are very easy now! No more nights at labs, covered in wires. You can take one at home with light monitoring. If you even suspect you could benefit, try it. They help a lot if you need them.

Last night, I cranked the humidity on my #cpap up to 6... and holy shit, that was too much. Apparently, it caused my mask to probably "rainout" (new term, yay!). Another day of waking up tired even after using CPAP.

... It also didn't help that I stayed up until 1am preparing a legal demand letter to get my husband to submit VFSRAC for insurance coverage with Canada Life. #sleepapnea

Because the CPAP cuts out, I'm the first to know about a power outage. I was awake before the ceiling fan had stopped turning.

Gladly no longer identifying as hard with this. Every #cpap user becomes a booster and I’m no different. On days I get a high score with it, I wake up a new man.
