Sleeping with a CPAP

Last night I had my first experience with a CPAP. I thought it would be a waste of time, I was wrong. I had the best sleep I have had in a very long time. I can't believe that with all the wire's attached to me and the mask staped on I was able to sleep at all.

I don't know if I have Obstructive sleep apnea, or the Parkinson's kind where brain just doesn't tell you to breathe, I guess it makes no difference, I slept.

I was very sceptical of the CPAP machine, I know many said it was great and worked well for them. Now I believe, it won't change the pain at night, the cramping in my legs and feel, but every obstacle removed is a giant step forward. If you snore, wake yourself up with a snort, ask your doctor about a sleep study, from what I hear it could save your life.
