It's probably not apnea, it's probably allergies, because it's a lot worse right now and there's very little in the winter. She's tried breathe-right strips, but she says they're too uncomfortable.

I also have a feeling that it would take me weeks to be able to easily fall and stay asleep with the sound of a CPAP machine, but maybe one day it will be necessary. I hope not.

I got the latest airsense cpap machine and it’s extremely quiet for whatever that’s worth. If I took a video of it running with my phone it wouldn’t pick up any noise. I hate the thing and haven’t been able to get use out of it but I was shocked how quiet it is.

Good to know! Thanks!

I didn't realize it was you I'm talking to. I'd trust that you and your partner have plenty of medical advice.

Get some sleep, one way or another.

Air purifier like the other said is a good idea though. Allergies are killer right now, at least around here. My car hasn't moved since Friday. It was silver then and it's green now.

I try, thanks!

Do you have an air purifier running in your bedroom? I found running a small purifier with a hepa like filter did wonders for my wife's seasonal allergies.

We don't and it's worth a try. Thanks!

A big one like the Honeywell HEPA ones is also great. Filtering only, don't get the ionized ones. You can just replace the prefilters once a year or so (can vacuum them off to reuse once or twice) and the actual HEPA filter lasts a really long time.

Claritin or whatever works and aerobic exercise daily also does major wonders.

Yeah, I've heard about the ionized ones and to stay away from them. She does take Zyrtec and I wish I could get her to exercise more, but I lost that argument a while ago.
