What did you do today?

@Zanne, I hope your brother gets some relief. The CPAP did zero, bupkis (more properly bobkes, באבקעס) meaning “nonsense” or “nothing.”, nada for me with regards to allowing me to sleep any longer. Some causes of insomnia must be caused by other things going on in my life at least.

And, yes, you seem to be living in a soap opera, and my life seems so dull and boring in comparison. Thanks for your interesting reads!

@Zanne, I've used a cpap for many many years (20+) where i don't sleep longer, I sleep better. Stopped my snoring. I dont remember my sleep study numbers but they were higher than your brothers. My wife had moved out of my bedroom so she could get some sleep. I stored very loud.
I used to be part of the churches youth group, and we would go camping, (Royal Rangers) I had to have my own tent set up on the far edge of the campsite . No more snoring now, but addicted to the cpap.. even if. I lay down for a nap, I feel naked without it.
Hopfully it helps your brother (if he will wear it, it does take a bit to get used to)

The only reason I would push for a CPAP is because it will qualify me for a 30% decrease in my $500 monthly electric bill.

Well,that would be nice.. who provides that discount ?

Most, if not all of the electric companies in Kalifornia offer it, since they are dependent upon power to run them.

Yes, CPAP machines can help reduce electric bills in California through the Medical Baseline Allowance program. This program provides extra electricity at a low rate to people who use medical equipment, including CPAP machines.



How it works

• Customers who qualify for the program receive extra electricity at the lowest baseline rate.
  

• The extra electricity helps offset the cost of running medical equipment.
  
  
• Customers may also receive advance notice of Public Safety Power Shut-off (PSPS) events.
  

Who may qualify?

• People who use electrically powered medical equipment regularly, including CPAP machines
  

• People who need space heating or air conditioning due to a medical condition

Thanks, but being I'm in sc, I don't see anything remotely like that.
I've found sc really sucks when it comes to helping .
Now georgia seems to be pretty good. California, possibly, if the cost of living wasn't so high.
