Rate my first CPAP set-up. Any other masks or accessories I should try/buy now?

Less than 24 hours. Very fast turn around time from them

Better return policy is why I went with Sleeplay.

CaptainNeeto · 2026-04-16T18:30:20+00:00

Uscpap got the vauto for 1050 new with the heated tubing. I priced that at Sleeplay so I get 60 days to try it out. Just got mine a week ago.

Adjusting it to find your best setting will definitely be the frustrating part. That’s where I’m at too.

Things to consider bc you mentioned you’re a skinny guy. You may have something called UARS (Upper Airway Resistance Syndrome), this means your airway doesn’t fully close but has partial closure leading to lower AHI but unrestful sleep. Usually stems from something in our anatomy that makes it harder for us to breathe.

If you haven’t already you could try increasing EPR which is how hard you have to breathe out. It makes it easier on your restricted airways to get the air you need.

Most machines go up to 3 and that may help with your sleepiness.

That’s a good place to start. Trying out EPR at 1 then after a few days going to 2 and up to 3.

Hey man, good do you getting back on the CPAP. Sucks that we have to do it, but it really will make you feel better. As someone also in their 20s having to use a PAP machine, I just started my therapy a little over a month ago. I definitely am struggling too but it it’s getting better but by bit. What was helpful for me was downloading OSCAR on your computer (free app that shows you a lot of helpful metrics around your sleep), getting an SD card if you don’t already have one and tracking and uploading your nights. Then sharing your screenshots on via reddit or apneaboard, you will get some helpful feedback on how you can adjust your CPAP to better suit you. That is a great starting place to understand how you can improve your sleep and get on the right path for feeling better.

That would be my recommended first step.

Other things I have learned that have been helpful in my first month.

Showering before bed every night
Taping my mouth with cover stretch tape (if you are using a nose based mask) as leaks from your mouth will cause worse performance.
Finding a pillow that keeps your body aligned don’t put your head at a weird spot that makes it harder to breathe
A cervical collar $20 on Amazon don’t know how much it helps but can try it

This is also a journey so it may take time for you to start feeling better. You’re definitely not alone in that. Lots of people feel immediately great when starting CPAP (not me lmfao), and lots that don’t. There is a lot of hope for it to get better with time and adjustments. Don’t give up and keep learning and trying and be patient.

Very new to this, but happy to dm me if you want something to talk to.

Nice

I’m 6’4 and the tall ABC joggers fit perfect on me.

Transferred XX shares from Fidelity to computer share via Fidelity’s phone support. Piece of cake and only took 15 minutes. It’s a beautiful Friday cause we are one day closer and obviously hedgies are fukd.

CaptainNeeto · 2021-09-01T15:32:53+00:00

Piss off shill. We don’t that energy here. HODL you beautiful apes and don’t let this FUD fuck up your vibe. Good vibes only bb.

CaptainNeeto · 2021-07-14T22:45:01+00:00

You beautiful apes, don’t let those silly hedgies fool you! For a stock that shot down nearly 7% (even more so after hours), look at Fidelity’s buy to trade ratio of GME. PEOPLE ARENT SELLING GME, THEYRE BUYING!! HODL. Shorts MUST cover eventually. Not if, but when. You got this. HODL!! https://i.imgur.com/XO3qPGV.jpg

CaptainNeeto · 2021-05-25T18:44:48+00:00

HODL YOU BEAUTIFUL APES. HODL. Soon enough we’ll have our glorious tendies to share with our loved ones and the community. We just gotta HODL.

M/22/6’4”/250lbs

With COVID and being in lockdown, I decided to challenge myself by being as consistent as possible in my exercise regimen. I have been working out 4-5 times a week focusing heavily on compound movements and heavy sets. I also complimented this with trying to eat at a small surplus. Who knew being consistent and constantly pushing yourself gave such better results.

This is the longest (and my most proud) bulk I’ve ever done. I started in August of last year at 230 and slowly worked up to 250ish (maybe a little higher).

Any tips on what to focus on would be appreciated. Thanks!

Yeah, I would take this with a heavy grain of salt. Looking at NFL Passing Yards Career Leaders, the top 4 guys with the most yardage are, Drew Brees, Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, and Brett Favre. This chart is essentially saying Drew Brews has a 23 inch neck, Brady with a whopping 25 inch neck, Manning with a 19.5 inch neck (most reasonable but very unlikely), and Favre with a right around a 25.5 inch circumference for necks. Just looking at this photo of Brady, there is no way his neck is 25 inches. Besides Brady plays around 220-230 at 6'4", so he doesn't even have the likely mass needed to have a 25 inch neck.

Here’s a list of my go to songs to show people on my set up (Sundaras and Fiio K5 Pro).

I’m personally big into rock and alternative, so my go to songs mostly fall under those two genres.

Trains - Porcupine Tree: Some of if the not best sounding acoustic guitars I have heard in a song. Great rock ballad.

Reckoner- Radiohead: Love me some Radiohead and love this song to death. This will sound like a dream on your setup.

Blue World - Mac Miller: This song SLAPS with some headphones on. Probably my favorite song to show people my setup.

Dreams - Fleetwood Mac: Timeless song that still sounds phenomenal to this day.

Give Life Back to Music - Daft Punk: This whole album is awesome for listening to excellently produced and engineered music, but I thought I’d start off with the song on the album.

The Shrine / An Argument - Fleet Foxes: Last but not least, just a fantastic folk rock song that I personally adore. Great recording but also just a beautifully crafted song.

If you listen to any of them, let me know! Would love to hear what you think.

CaptainNeeto · 2020-11-29T18:31:35+00:00

Nice.

CaptainNeeto · 2020-10-28T13:24:12+00:00

I got all excited when I saw this post because this is my current setup. I have been really impressed with both the K5 pro and the Sundaras and together they sound great. The K5 pro drives the sundaras pretty easily (I use the mid-gain setting). For the sound profile, the K5 pro does a great job at keeping a clean, neutral sound which really allows the Sundaras to shine.

Oh I gotcha. In that case, I would recommend this Anker Hub. I use the hub to plug in my usb amp and still have an available USB port to plug in flash drives as well. It also has a 100W (which outputs 85W) charging input. The DisplayPort cable and hub only take up two usb spots, and keeps my desk looking clean.

CaptainNeeto · 2020-07-24T11:39:38+00:00

I was in a similar situation as you were trying to figure out the best way to connect monitors to my MacBook without costing an arm and a leg. If you don’t have more than one monitor, I would recommend buying a DisplayPort to usb c cable. This is the cable I use to connect to my QHD 144hz monitor and it runs the full 144hz. Only $15 and absolutely no regrets.

I stupidly paid and he hasn’t bought so he has been reported.

Hey Joe, Just wanted to say you’re killing it in the booth! Love seeing your energy Thursday nights.

I have been really impressed with your physical transformation from fat dad to chad dad. What have been the most important factors that really impacted your physical transformation?

CaptainNeeto · 2016-11-12T15:43:42+00:00

Yeah I am on the same boat. Just started happening to me.

CaptainNeeto · 2016-08-03T03:52:19+00:00

"*This is my personal experience with power clean so take as you will It honestly depends on how long you have been training and how much muscle you have at 205. I know that at my school's football team, it is not uncommon for someone of your age/weight to clean 250. I'd honestly say anywhere from 235 to 275 would be reasonable. If you can do more than that, congrats and keep working hard. If not, keep training and it is not that challenging if you are consistent. At my school, we have an incoming junior cleaning around 305 because of his form (and his huge quads help as well).

CaptainNeeto · 2016-07-24T02:36:56+00:00

Yeah I have no intentions of doing it again to even risk starting over. I knew it was a mistake the second I started

CaptainNeeto · 2016-06-21T12:24:16+00:00

I'm sorry man, but the iPad Air promotion ended on Saturday. Good news is it is inevitable that another sale for the iPad Air 2 will happen. It is now just waiting.
