CPAP Study

I read an interesting study at https://sciencedaily.com. The title of the article that contains the study is "After watching disturbing video, CPAP usage soars." The article is dated 7.12.17.

The gist of the article is that people who have been diagnosed with sleep apnea and were supposed to wear a CPAP mask, usually don't. Over 50 percent don't wear the mask.

Researchers first showed patients videos of other people who struggled with breathing while sleeping without the CPAP mask. Seeing these videos did little to change the watchers. Then the viewers were shown themselves struggling to breathe at night. Those who saw themselves used their CPAP machines about 150 minutes more a night than those who saw others on the videos.

I will now use my mask more.
