It's a device to stop you snoring in your sleep. My father in-law snores for Scotland and has tried a mask type, but he found it claustrophobic [sp?] and can't use it. It seems that they help some people immensely and others just can't get on with them.

My father use's one as he has a diesease that can cause his throat muscles to close at night and stop him breathing :shock: :shock: i belive it forces air about your nasel system, but i do know it sounds like your in a airliner  :lol: :lol: :lol:

It stands for: Continuous Positive Airway Pressure.
If you watch any programmes about REALLY fat people, they can sometimes be seen wearing a mask over their noses with a rather fetching strap around their foreheads.
It helps me to keep breathing at night, and stops my snoring, which has been measured at...78db.
I'm not really that large, but suffer from sleep apnea.

Oh, Pux, I did'nt mean to propose that your Dad was fat. :oops:
And yes Tommo I do sound like Darth Vader  :D

I did a sleep clinic test at East Grinstead hospital, went ok for the night all wired up and videod, as would be expected I didn't sleep that well so they lent me a machine for a week, but that lasted for 2 nights at the most, every time you want to turn over had problems with the tubes, and the noise of the thing kept me awake.

All of this was that my brother broke my nose a few years ago which made me snore, in the end the specialist wanted to cut my nose about to straigten it, so as we have 3 bedrooms and theres only two of us I moved to the spare bedroom, result no operation and a double bed on my own, even the dogs get up and move to her bedroom.

Did my sleep clinic test at East Grinstead too about 4 years ago, had to get used to my machine tho' or else I die in my sleep !!!!! Not good  :D
