Cpap and getting better sleep: What's your experience?

@johnbishop- Very happy to hear your news! So much of this stuff isn't just numbers, but also how we view our progress. I remember when I met with the Sleep Therapist a few years back and I was concerned about the constant leaky mask thing and yet he turned it all upside down when he showed me the AHI scores and the consistant 7-8 hr. of C-pap use for many, many months.
That appt. really changed my outlook about the leaky mask issue. Just recently I've been on a role of 2 green happy faces and scores of 95-98 on my Resmed My Air site. Not sure what has happened?
When you travel do you pack your new machine in your suitcase or do you carry it separately in its bag with your carry on?
Happy Zzzz's my friend! Jim@thankful

Hi Jim @thankful - We've only made one trip to my wife's sisters house in Illinois so they could spend some time together while I got to watch sports, sports and more sports with my brother-in-law who loves his sports. It was an overall restful trip and I had been wanting to test the travel CPAP. Another thing I like is that it takes up less space on the beside dresser/table. I had thought about buying the battery pack that goes with it. The power cord plugs into the battery pack so it won't miss a beat if you have a power failure. We experienced one a few months ago during the night while using my normal CPAP and it was quite an experience. I woke up out of a dead sleep trying to catch my breath because it stopped pushing air and the mask had a good seal even with the cloth cover.
The mask, hose and power cord fit in a small cloth bag that comes with it. Nice that you can put the mask into it during the day when you wake up when traveling. The CPAP fits in the hard case for traveling. All of it fit nicely in my suitcase which was really and oversized gym bag that I've had forever and use for 2 to 3 day trips although I can fit a weeks worth of clothes with a couple of pairs of jeans.
