My 92 year old mother was diagnosed with sleep apnea. She started using her cpap machine, and now all I hear about is how great she feels and how she no longer needs her nap! You may not think you have apnea (she didn't) but that doesn't mean you don't!

Welcome @rozo123, It's good news to hear that your mother is doing well with the CPAP. I had the same experience a few years ago and was diagnosed through a sleep study after mentioning to a doctor that sometimes my snoring woke me up at night. He sent me to a sleep medicine doctor and they setup an overnight study that resulted in my diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea.

I think the most difficult part of using a CPAP is getting used to the mask. It sounds like your mother didn't have any trouble with using the CPAP.
