I never had a problem with adopting CPAP. It's been transformative for me, sleep quality is literally 10 times better than without, I wake up feeling awful if I have a nap without it. Why would someone keep a mask on for 4 hours, then take it off? does not make sense to me.

1) People who are not fully awake often do things for no clear reason -- I regularly wake up finding that I have no memory of removing my mask after 2-5 hours. 2) If you're prone to nightmares, waking up with something covering your face that causes bizarre sensations when you try to breathe through your mouth or speak may disturb you enough to tear it off.

I wouldn't use it without sleep apnea because of the annoyance with the hose. But I agree that otherwise my nasal mask is hardly noticeable.

The hose became easier for me to deal with after I used a bungee cord together with a wall hook to keep it mounted above the bed.

I know someone who snored like crazy, would quit breathing at night and was diagnosed with sleep apnea. She got a CPAP and tried to use it for a year. Snoring was worse although it helped her not stop breathing. But it gave her some form of pneumonia or some such and she began coughing all night! Then it spread to daytime. Then everyone around her started getting the cough. I had to take antibiotics to shake off the…

Your claim is that CPAP gave this person a _communicable_ chest infection, which was then cured by herbal medicine? How could that possibly happen unless your local distilled water supply was contaminated with tuberculosis bacteria?
