A CPAP will change your life (and possibly save it, since sleep apnea is associated with hypertension and other cardiovascular problems).

Also, that persistently sore spot in your ribs will magically disappear ...
I also have sleep apnea diagnosed last year. Can I ask do people stare or comment when you are wearing your cpap mask? I assume I snore on the plane because I do so at home but at home or hotels I use my cpap. I've been thinking about using my cpap on board but haven't dared yet. I normally travel CX, BA and SQ long haul. Do they all allow cpap machines to be plugged in and used?
