I knew something had to be done when I would wake in the morning to find my husband sleeping in his recliner because I had snored him out of the bedroom!
It is the first thing I pack too! I am miserable without it.


Finally after 46 years I am getting a good rested night of sleep, I just turned 57. I do dream, and they feel like I am right there and I remember them. Before I never went into REM sleep, so never could recall dreams.

My machine is totally silent, and I took to it like a fish to water.

During the night of my sleep study, I stopped breathing 133 times in 116 minutes.....all my doctor could say when reading those results was OMG.

I love my machine, it is the first thing I pack when we are going away.
