Most Americans are familiar with the tradition of going around the table and saying one thing they’re grateful for at Thanksgiving. At CPAP Central, we’re grateful that there are devices out there that can treat sleep apnea. Here’s a few of our favorites:
Travel CPAP Machines
It’s the holidays, which means you may be packing your bags to go visit far-flung relatives. Luckily for the CPAP user, they make travel CPAP machines, so you don’t have to spend your vacation feeling exhausted from lack of sleep the night before. Travel CPAP machines are small and light enough for you to pack in a carry-on bag, but they pack all the punch of a regular CPAP machine.
The Dreamstation by Phillips Respironics
This one is a favorite among our customers, and no wonder! It’s super quiet, easy to use and its ramp feature makes beginner CPAP users acclimate quickly. The Dreamstation is small enough to take on trips, so you don’t have to get a separate travel CPAP machine. Finally, it’s one of the nicer-looking CPAP machines, with its appearance more akin to an iPod docking station or bedside radio.
Full-faced CPAP masks
Many CPAP users become frustrated with full-faced CPAP masks because they block their line of sight and in general look unflattering. However, the Mirage Liberty by ResMed actually allows the user to have a clear line of sight while still giving them all the benefits of a full-faced mask. Another reason we love full-faced CPAP masks is because they work really well for those of us who breathe with our mouths open at night—and for those of us who don’t enjoy putting things directly in our nasal passages.
Whether you’re traveling to see family this holiday or are hosting your own gathering, CPAP Central wants to remind you of the benefits of staying CPAP compliant. You’ll be less cranky around your relatives because you’ll have more sleep, and no one can tease you about snoring like a chainsaw at night! More importantly, it can help extend your lifespan, which means you will be able to enjoy many more holidays with your loved ones.
