Here are a few observations three months into my husband using a CPAP:

- My sleep quality is much better. Thankful.
- Any kissing, chatting or even cuddling next to him are not the best with the CPAP mask on (it's also not anyone's most attractive, with tubing going in various directions on your head, to be honest). Kind of awkward, though he's learned to talk a little more clearly now if he needs to speak to me after starting the machine. The CPAP cuts out some spontaneous cuddling and chatting. Guess I miss that.
- I sometimes get the chilliest spurt of air coming from the mask area on his face going right into my face or otherwise toward me if he's on his side facing me in the bed and I'm on my side facing him. Not sure what the cooling mechanism is in play, but I have to cover myself with covers or roll over to shield myself from freezing.

Is all this for a greater good? You bet.
