My husband uses CPAP machine, he has sleep apnea that Is one of common symptoms of Tourette’s syndrome, which he has. I am extremely light sleeper but I am not bothered by it at all as it makes very little to no noise. It sounds like light whisper maybe? They make new machines now that make almost no noise. He never had bronchitis or pneumonia etc And it’s extremely easy to clean, it’s literally nothing. He spends like minutes on it. It takes no space either
Well in his case if not CPAP, he’d die. He stops breathing because his central nervous system simply doesn’t send the signal. He doesn’t snore, just doesn’t breathe. Scary stuff. I want him around so I am glad he is using it.
Not saying you have to use it. But it’s not as bad as it sounds
