I know it says late night with Apnea but I figured that since I can't get this out of my head, I want to share it. Last night when I was on the Sleep Apnea Help forum I noticed a post about Full Face Masks. I noticed some respones had what they wear, etc. So I thought it would be a cool and rather funny parody (and since I work with the media) to come up with sponsorships of what equipment we use. For Example (and imagine with a cheesy grin):

"Hi, I'm Sleepy no More! I've just been recently diagnosed with Sleep Apnea. Those nights without the aid of my mask are brutal, but not anymore because I use the Fisher & Paykel FlexiFit 431. It's the perfect full face mask that I need to give me that extra amount of sleep that I need at night. So forget about those nasal maks if your an open-mouth breather, get the Fisher & Paykel Flexifit431... 'Sleep... in Style'. Order your mask today and recieve a free copy of 'The Apnea Haiku Book'. Read the humourous stylings of such luminaries as Vicki and SnoozeHunter. It is full of witty musings that only true sleepless Apneacs can understand. So what are you waiting for: Order the Fisher & Paykel FlexiFit 431 today!"

or

"Hi, I'm Sleepy no More! Living with Sleep Apnea can be a real hassle on my life. That's why I use the Resmed S8 Compact Cpap machine! No more worrying about whether or not I will wake up in the morning! I know full well that the Resmed S8 Compact will give me the pressure that I need for a relaxing nights sleep! And with my mask of choice, the ladies love my look! Get the Resmed S8 Compact, so that you may Sleep with Class! Also available, the Resmed HumidAire 3i for those Apnea sleepers will not wake up with dry mouth! Mask not included!"

Ok, maybe I have too much time on my hands... But I thought that this was pretty funny.   I would love to hear any of your advertisements, etc.

Hey, Are YOU A MOUTHBREATHER?
Do you want to use a nasal mask or nasal pillows, but find you wake up feeling like you've SNORTED CHLORINE?
Full-face masks leave you feeling like Darth Vader?
You've tried numerous chin straps, but YOU JUST CAN'T SEEM TO KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT AT NIGHT?

Well.... MOUTH BREATHE NO MORE!
Not with OGGIE'S MOUTH TAPE!!
Gentler than Johnson & Johnson, stronger than Duct, more colorful than Masking...
It's OGGIE'S MOUTH TAPE!
Available in a variety of colors and sizes...
But WAIT, if you order in the next 30 minutes, we'll throw in this beautiful MOUTH TAPE DISPENSER!
NOW how much would you pay?
Be one of the first 50 callers, and we'll even add the Refill Rainbow Pack in for FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Sleepy No More --
How cool!   I had a Fisher & Paykel rep at our local support group meeting this past week.  She demonstrated all sorts of masks.
I remember grinning, thinking how "lovely" this all is, not exactly the sort of demo that would make anyone want to rush out and get a sleep study!
I should show her your parody!!    So funny!  

Oggie --
You're is cool too!

How about I add to yours, Oggie (based on Rested Gal's funny solution to face mask issues):

And for you ladies looking to add style to your mask, try our line of pantyhose straps, designed to add comfort and style to securing your mask snuggly to your head.  Come see our full line of "Pantyhose Ties."  No more unsightly strap marks on your face.  Comes in a variety of colors and styles to suit the most descriminating tastes.  Available in sheer, taupe, and for those nights with that special someone ..... fishnet!  

No, ladies, you can't go wrong with our line of pantyhose straps.  There's a size and style for everyone.  There's your basic everyday comfortable tan.  And for those evenings following your special dates there is ultra silky.  And who can go wrong with the stylish basic black?  Above all, go with the comfort of our full line of pantyhose straps.  You'll be glad you did!

Linda

I've got another one:

Are you new to your CPAP machine? Do you find yourself taking off your mask in the middle of the night without realizing it? Well now there is an easy solution...

Introducing...

Sleepy's LEATHER WRIST STRAPS!!!!

How does it work?

The Leather Wrist Straps are bind your wrists to your bed while you sleep, to prevent you from taking off your mask in the middle of the night. To put in the leather straps, just simply nail them to the bedboard. Your arms are in an upright position so you won't be able to move your limbs to take off the mask while you are sleeping. The leather wrist straps are also good for doing that certain naughty activity while you are with your loved one in the sack  

So what are you waiting for - get your leather wrist straps today so you don't waste sleep!


OK, OK... I know what you all are thinking... I can't help it! Ever since I've been on CPAP, my mind is not foggy! It's been in the friggin' gutter!!!!

Okay, here's mine:

Single and lonely? Love life gone downhill since you've been diagnosed with OSA? Afraid that you'll never find someone who wouldn't mind the whirr and hum of your machine every night or can appreciate a good Darth Vader joke? Well, look no further and join Hose Hearts, the first dating service for folks with OSA.  Browse our online profiles or find the person of your dreams based on machine/mask preferences, pressure or AHI. Don't spend another lonely night with nothing but your heated humidifier to keep you warm...join Hose Hearts and find that special someone to share your CPAP love!

That was awesome! I was laughing pretty hard on that one because I have a profile on two different dating websites...   That was really funny!  

Rapunzel - I liked your ad parodies also, especially the Goldfish bowl. That was pretty funny. The DIY CPAP booklet kind of gave me an idea in a wierd sort of way... When you mentioned all of the items needed to make your own CPAP, I was thinking about the movie "Half-Baked". So I kind of came up with the idea for:

THE CPAP Hookhah!

Just put your favorite tobacco/fruit/substance in your humdifier, heat it with the plate and suck through the tube! Works best with Resmed VPAP III BiPAP with the detachable humidifier which you can open to add your favorite flavors. Also has the warm up feature for easy heating... And for loads of hookhah smoking fun, don't forget to use the ramp feature. Order today and you will recieve the "Apenacs and Lavalamps" double-CD, filled with spacy, trippy, grooving jams for those evenings with your close friends, sitting in a circle around your favorite CPAP. So what are you waiting for... Turn on, suck in, drop out with the CPAP Hookhah!!
