Hi, @thankful @cece55 @johnbishop and all - well, my husband seems to be getting more and more used to his CPAP. He has the nasal CPAP mask and has not seemed to have any problems with it. He has developed a routine for the daily rinsing and weekly trip with some of the CPAP parts into the shower with him for some baby shampoo.

A logistical item with the CPAP I've noticed is that he has to decide to go to sleep at a very defined point in time and put his gear on, after which I really can't talk to him with the equipment going. It's also a little odd cuddling with a guy with all this tubing on his face/head (still my true love and all, just a little unusual compared to pre-CPAP). Just some observations from a spouse of a CPAP user.

I continue to sleep much better, except for random nights when I'm wired and can't get to sleep for some unknown reason, which is not too often. I don't really use the white noise machine I used to drown out his snoring as best I could to get some sleep before he got the CPAP, cause now the CPAP is providing it's own white noise, of a sort.
