A week with my CPAP machine: I have energy!

Tweet

I've written here about my ongoing sleep apnea journey from the testing to the diagnosis to finally getting the CPAP machine and the first night with it. I've now had it for over a week and I'm really getting used to sleeping with the mask on. It honestly isn't that bad and not nearly as bad as I was expecting after what I read online. One of the biggest things that I've noticed now that I've been using the machine is that I have energy during the day, presumably because I'm actually sleeping soundly during the night now. Today was my first day of going to work after using it and I felt like an entirely different person than I normally do. In fact, I had so much more energy than I normally do that I went home, got changed, and went to the gym! That's a major improvement--I can tell you that. So far, so good!
