Thunderstorms roll in, blizzards blow, wind knocks powerlines down. Power outages are a part of life. However, if you don’t have some kind of backup power supply, you could be stuck without your CPAP machine.
Whether you’ve just been diagnosed with a sleep disorder, or you’re looking to upgrade your old CPAP, there’s never been a better time to shop for a new CPAP machine.
Advances in technology have led to incredible new features that can improve your sleep quality and your quality of life! But how do you tell the must-haves from the mistakes? To help you choose, we’ve put together a list of the best CPAP machines according to our Director of Clinical Operations. Below that, we explain the types of CPAP machines you’ll encounter and what features to look for, so you can decide on the perfect machine for yourself!
CPAP masks may just be the most important part of your sleep therapy. Don't believe it? Spend a night with a leaky mask or your headgear on too tight and you'll understand.
Start things off on the right foot by feeling better! If you have sleep apnea why hesitate to experience CPAP benefits? Not only is CPAP therapy the most effective sleep apnea treatment, but it makes people feel better by providing their bodies and minds with the oxygen necessary for better sleep and healing.
Fathers play many roles in their children’s lives. They are providers, best friends, and oftentimes role models. I look up to my dad for his character, work ethic, and his ability to face adversity. He served in the U.S. military for over 20 years, and after retiring became a teacher for another 20 years. I can only hope to impact as many lives as he has with his generosity and will forever strive to be great like him. One of my biggest fears, however, is what if I can’t live up to those standards?
CPAP therapy has helped millions who have sleep apnea to get a better night’s sleep. Studies estimate that there are 22 million Americans that suffer from sleep apnea, and many of them are undiagnosed. Once you start your CPAP therapy, your overall state of health improves. It can, however, be difficult at first to get used to sleeping with your new mask or machine. How will it affect your regular sleep schedule? How hard is it to manage travelling with a CPAP machine? How difficult is it to keep up with cleaning supplies?
Got a vacation coming up? Traveling to meet a client? You might be looking forward to a few days off, but sleep apnea doesn’t take holidays.
