For those that have dealt with sleep apnea, what tips do you have?

Sleep Apnea Tips: Use your CPAP device nightly as directed and check in with your sleep specialist or primary doc as directed. Ask for humidity in your cpap. If you are over-weight, work on losing weight safely. Be patient as you get used to using your CPAP device.

Ask questions: Look at all your options. There are many different types of CPAP masks for example and many patients are much happier with nasal pillow type masks instead of full nose mouth masks. It's also a good idea to have an oral sleep apnea appliance(again there are many types) as a backup in case of power outages or head cold"s where you have a "runny or stuffed nose.

Sleep Apnea: CPAP or auto-pap is gold standard for treating obstructive sleep apnea and educating yourself about consequences of not treating sleep apnea is crucial.
