Can you separate the CPAP facts from the CPAP myths? See how you score on this eye-opening quiz.
1. If I want to buy a new CPAP, I need to take another sleep test.

3. The inventor of the CPAP initially studied breathing problems in bulldogs and pugs before moving on to humans.
TRUE. The Inventor of CPAP, Colin Sullivan, did in fact study disordered breathing in dogs. You can thank all those snuffling pups for contributing to sleep apnea research.
CPAP has come a long way since then, and since it’s essential to maintaining your health, many insurance providers will cover your sleep therapy.
