I am going with sleepapnea. I was diagnosed in January 2020 and initially the treatment went fine. This changed over the past months and my treatment has been adjusted, resulting in hardware issues. This is not my fault, but it affects me big time as I am studying for a Microsoft certification. I sleep like crap most nights and cannot f0llow my normal bedtime routine of reading before sleeping because of the hardware issues having an impact on my eyes (air leaking from the CPAP mask, blowing right into my eyes, so can’t keep them open for any length of time). Reading without wearing the mask is not an option as I am liable to fall asleep while reading, which would result into even worse quality of sleep.
I did call the supplier a while back and they sent a different mask. Tried it two nights and it sucks as every night I have to figure out again how tight to pull the straps. So called again and I am getting yet another mask, but this one is not in stock at the moment, so no idea when I will get it. In the mean time, I am doing the best I can, which sometimes means staying in bed all morning, reading and sleeping. Here’s hoping I’ll pass the exam next week!
