I personally did not appreciate the laughing and joking about Cpap machines. No, they are not sexy butbthey can be life saving. For people with afib or sleep apnea, which can also be related to snoring, your health can be improved. I have used one for six years, have sleep apnea, no longer snore and my health is better. If your partner loves you, it diesnt make a difference. The benefits outweigh ant negativity.
