Yeah I know many people cannot sleep with them. It does take a little getting used to. oh a machine mask sounds horrid!

The CPAP machines are pretty bad, but they save lives. People who periodically stop breathing during the night die very often as a result.
My mama said she would sometime lie awake at night and give my daddy a shake, not to wake him up, but just to start him back breathing. They make a ghastly noise too.
I guess you are unfamiliar with them?
There are many different designs, this one seems the most onerous to me
