My REM stage 1 sleep is dysfunctional for genetic or hormonal reasons and lasts twice as long as its supposed to. I can achieve the other stages of sleep ( all stage of sleep add up to one 90 minute cycle, then each stage repeats itself). I just take longer to get to stage 2 of sleep and fear that a CPAP will make it impossible for me to sleep. I live in a tiny studio apt so I every noise inside it is magnified by 10.

I hear you about being light sleeper. I am 54. I am extremely light sleeper and have always been. It’s a joke in my family. No one is allowed to do anything when I go to bed, it has to be quiet and dark. My daughter likes to tell stories when she still lived at home. One time I yelled from my bedroom to hers in the middle of the night: what are you doing??? Stop making noise. Poor girl. I woke her up. The only noise she made was turned around on her bed and it squeaked. Lol I was convinced she was out and about after bed time!
I actually worried that my husbands CPAP would keep me up. But somehow it doesn’t. Maybe because it’s so monotone I got used to it. I sleep rather poorly as it is so it’s not worse with CPAP.
Good idea to tell them to turn it on and see what you think of noise
