Researchers studied 10 couples – the male counterpart in each couple had previously been diagnosed with sleep apnea. They found that there is some clinical evidence suggesting poor sleep and deprivation – as a result of excessive snoring and tossing and turning – was putting a huge strain on marriages. One patient’s snoring was causing his wife to wake up over eight times an hour.

However, once CPAP treatment was administered to treat sleep apnea, participants had improved:

• Daytime sleepiness
• Marital satisfaction
• Nighttime sleep efficiency

After the husband underwent CPAP treatment, the wife’s quality of life measure shot up from 1.2 to a 7. In short, CPAP treatment saved their marriage.

Untreated sleep apnea can be loud, but so can old supplies and machines. Even worse, poor CPAP therapy can make you irritable as well, causing undue stress on you both. When your supplies are old, the therapy will become less and less effective. Because this happens slowly and over time, most folks end up not noticing it.

Eventually this leads to over-tightening that can cause pain, marks, and loud mask noises. The less comfortable your CPAP supplies are, the harder it is to stay compliant and get your CPAP benefits. You can avoid this by replacing your supplies with fresh ones regularly on the recommended, insurance-backed schedule.

Your pressure needs vary through the night as you sleep. Newer CPAPs are auto-titrating, meaning they adjust to your needs breath-by-breath to give the most effective pressure needed. On top of perfecting the pressure, they have automatically adjusting comfort settings to keep you compliant every night of the week. ResMed’s AirSense 11 Auto CPAP also offers:

• Humidification: 7 levels of humidity and an optional heated tube ensures you don’t dry out
• EPR: Expiratory Pressure Relief reduces pressure upon exhale, avoiding high pressure mask leaks
