On the flip side, I can no longer sleep without CPAP. I wish it wasn’t so expensive, invasive, and power hungry.
I’ve been thinking about designing my own 3D printable nasal mask. The consumables are the expensive part for me and they are relatively simple devices. I pay around $100 for the mask that you thrown away every few months.
Mine consumes a lot of power because it uses a heated humidifier—I’m in a dry state. Seems like a cool mist would be better for me but they don’t really exist. The power isn’t a problem at home but can be when away from home, such as camping.
