My husband has been using a cpap for a few months ago. When he started CPAP therapy I was very optimistic that he would stop his LOUD snoring every night. Since using it, he maybe snores like 10% less than before… Is this normal? Will I ever get a good night sleep next to him

Sounds like his mask isn’t on tight enough.

Him keeping you up at night aside, this could be indicative of some issues with how he’s using the CPAP machine. Could be a leaky mask, incorrect pressure settings, etc. I would see an expert and troubleshoot.

Yea, if not leaks, sounds like pressure. He’s probably not getting much out of the CPAP machine.

I have been in a similar situation with my partner on CPAP. At first, I was frustrated because the snoring did not stop completely either. I found it helped to double-check the mask fit and settings with the clinic and sometimes small adjustments make a big difference. It can take a bit of time, but things usually improve.
