I have been cured for my sleep apnea for about 2 months now. I've just been on a 3 weeks’ vacation, and of course it has been wonderful to be free from my CPAP mask.
As a sleep apnea patient you have much focus on the quality of sleep, especially I think those who are members of this forum. I am sure that I will also have much focus on this in the future. Incidentally, I have an agreement for a sleep study every two years.
Today I sleep really well, but I still have a few nights where I have had some problems. I think this is quite normal with people without sleep apnea, but I am much more aware about this now.
Actually, I think that in some situations it may be advantageous to use CPAP (provided good compliance).
So I am still working on achieving good sleep hygiene. This can be difficult - for instance to go to bed at the same time every night.
Actually, I think it's more important how you wake up. Most of us wake up when the alarm goes off. I have observed that I am most rested when I wake up naturally, even though I have not slept for the 8 hours I normally do.
So I have considered buying a Bio-alarm clock similar to this:

Does anyone have experience with this?
