I ask simply because I am curious. The machine could be located wherever, like outside the shop or in a sealed box fed with outside air, and the hose could be however long. I trained myself to stop mouth breathing, so I am comfortable with lightweight headset. And I've become used to the tube.
I read of people who have tremendous difficulty with wood dust, especially some species (walnut?).
I personally am not organized enough to do it, I personally am not very sensitive, I personally DO use CPAP. My track saw table and sanding station are with ten feet of an outside window.

CPAP Testimonial
- In my initial sleep test, I stopped breathing just over 60 times an hour. That doesn't seem plausible, or maybe even possible, to me.
- With the machine, I stopped snoring, which was BAD, although I never heard it. Two college buds and I shared a motel room last winter. Both were wary of me, but trusted my promise that I didn't snore now. In the morning, they reported the only sound was a faint whoosh noise from the machine, which I had left atop the bed. The next night they wouldn't let me put the machine under the bed because they liked the sound!
- I've used it for 6 years and only missed two nights. Less tossing and turning, more rested in the morning.
