You can learn a lot from reality television like Love Is Blind. Seriously, in between the weird guys and surprising match-ups, the latest season showed us that romance isn’t just about candlelit dates and perfect skincare routines. Sometimes, romance is just about being honest with your partner about what helps you sleep. In an early episode, one contestant casually revealed that he uses a CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) machine to manage sleep apnea. And instead of killing the mood? The couple made it clear that the device did not get in the way of intimacy.
Honestly? It was a refreshing, long-overdue take on the typically taboo subject of wearing one of those masks to bed.
Sleep Week 2026 is the perfect time to talk about the sleep products that aren’t traditionally luxurious, aren’t Instagram-worthy and probably won't be going viral on TikTok any time soon—but actually work. CPAP machines fit neatly into that category. Most CPAP users don’t start out excited. Many resist therapy at first because the machines seem bulky, medical or intimidating. But once they start? It’s life‑changing. Find out if a CPAP machine is right for you below.
Sleep apnea is the second most common sleep disorder in the world, yet millions of people have no idea they have it. Untreated, it’s linked to headaches, daytime fatigue, increased risk of certain cancers, cardiovascular issues, mood changes and an overall decline in quality of life.
