Not A Teenager Anymore? No Worries. You Can Still Experience The Glories Of Headgear As An Adult!

February 29, 2008 By Jenny Ryan 3 Comments

See this?

CPAP

This is the lovely contraption I now wear to bed at night.

Oh, and not only do I get to wear that, I also get to wear a mouthpiece that we around here affectionately refer to as, “The Beaver Teeth”, which keeps me from clenching my jaw at night.

Fetching, no?

But even though every time I put this on I feel sort of like a criminal who is so dangerous they must be kept in face restraints at all times (a la Hannibal Lecter), I don’t care.

Because…

Are you ready for this?

I. Now. Sleep. At. Night.

It is a MIRACLE!!

There really are no words to describe it, except THANK YOU.

    Bless you! I had chronic insomnia for years and can now get enough sleep. So I know what you mean. I’m so happy for you. I also have to wear a mouth guard at night.

    My husband and I call these our “Borg Appliances”. As funny looking as it is, it is my dear friend.

    I have one of those, too! It’s amazing how much better you can feel during the day when you don’t stop breathing at night.

    Did you try a few different masks? Sometimes it’s hard to get a comfortable fit.
