A very common sleep disorder that many people suffer from is sleep apnea. The mild form of sleep apnea is snoring. Snoring can be cured with home remedies, and different sleeping positions. Sleep apnea, however, might require some special equipment. This does not mean that you have to be strapped to your bed the rest of your life. You can get portable CPAP machines that you can take on planes, in cars, and with you anywhere you go. First, lets talk about what portable CPAP machines are. CPAP stands for continual positive airflow pressure device. This means that this machine is capable of helping you breathe when you sleep. It does this by increasing the force at which you inhale. This makes sure that enough air gets through your throat, and to the vital places of your body. If you are looking at portable CPAP machines for your home use, here are a couple of features that you should look for. You should make sure that the portable CPAP machines that you are looking at have the ability to be plugged into a cars cigarette lighter. This will make sure that it will have power if you ever need to go on a road trip. They also make these devices that will run on high powered batteries. This can be a convenient feature for things like air travel. But you have to be extra careful not to let the batteries run down. Try to find a machine that includes a heated humidifier. People have shown to enjoy their CPAP machine much more when it is also run with a humidifier. There are many machines that offer this. Try to find one that can use the same power source as the CPAP device. The most important feature, however, is going to be comfort. This machine is designed to help you sleep.
