Balancing the CPAP Equation

Things I hate about the CPAP:

1. I get tangled in the tubing, which is uncomfortable
   
2. It's hard to sleep with something stuck on your face
3. it's hard to sleep with air blowing on you, and/or blowing in your eyes
   
4. it hisses
5. it restricts my motion
6. it wakes me up every time I turn or move because I get tangled or it becomes dislodged
7. I have to take it with me everywhere, pack and unpack it, set it up
8. I can't go wilderness camping any more or sleep out at silk creek
   
9. I have to go to two sets of appointments every 3-6 months
10. I have to have regular all night sleep studies and it's hard to sleep in a lab with all those wired taped to my scalp etc
11. the parts are expensive (ridiculously so)

Things I like about the CPAP:

1. It helps keep me alive.
2. I feel somewhat better when I use it.
