New uses for the CPAP machine....

We all know someone whose life has been transformed by the use of a CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) machine. Anyone who may have Sleep Apnea should do a sleep test--and if you're showing signs of breathing interruption (one friend's breathing stopped more than 60 times per hour--yes, there's not much REM going on during a night like that...) they test you with a CPAP on as well.

Editor Teresa Nielsen Hayden has been doing the tests--and her latest report made me laugh out loud. Enjoy this woman's constant creativity, even under duress.

Neat Machine.

Unfortunate acronym.

They should have tried harder, I agree.... 8^)
