CPAP Tip for O/O

If I stop wearing the mask, I will be placed out of service for noncompliance with my 'required' medical treatments.

 

If you actually have sleep apnea, it can impact your ability to stay awake and aware at the wheel.

For the last 25 years, I have never had tiredness issues, and only need 3 hours sleep a night to remain wakeful and alert. I do prefer to sleep 5 or so hours because I get grumpy and irritable with less than 5 hours sleep. That by itself would tell any competent doctor without a vested interest in selling me a $1000 machine that the concept of me having sleep apnea is ludicrous.

 

They mesure how much the machine is used, no one can tell if you're wearing the mask or not. Catch my drift?

 

The machine very much can tell if the mask is on or not. No mask wearing means zero usage to the machine.
It's not a dumb machine that simply blows air. It also measures the air coming back from exhalation so it can adjust the pressure sent.

 

I stand corrected.

 

Not newer machines.

I had a cracked mask, and the machine knew something was wrong.

 

I do believe @ZVar is correct it. I hadn't considered that fact about the mask in my previous post .

 

You got me good, I should be flogged with a well used CPAP hose
