> For anyone who has successfully used CPAP, did it really take 3-6 months before you found it made a difference?
It took me a year of active effort. I was waking up multiple times a night choking, so I didn't feel like a had a choice but to stick with it. Some people don't fully wake up, so it may not seem like such an obvious thing to them. I never would have made it through without https://www.sleepfiles.com/OSCAR/
We went away for the weekend recently and I forgot the power cable for my CPAP. It was a rough trip for me, and I remember thinking "I can't believe I used to just feel like this all the time".
It's not easy to sleep with something on your face. It's mentally upsetting to think you're reliant on a machine. Most people need to tweak their settings to get maximum benefit. And you're working with like 10 years of sleep debt. Why would it NOT take 3-6 months to see a difference?
