Sleep apnoea: How was your first experience with CPAP?

Hi everyone 👋 How are you sleeping these days?

If you've been prescribed a CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) machine, you probably remember that very first night, the mask, the noise, the strangeness of it all. But over time, many people say they finally experienced deep, restful sleep, sometimes for the first time in years.

😴 What was your first experience like?

• How did it go when you first started using a CPAP?
  
• Did it take a while to get used to the mask or the airflow?
  
• Have you noticed any changes in your sleep or daily life since starting?
  
• And if you’re not using one yet, do you have any fears or hesitations?
