Yes, he is using a cold passover humidifier. I know everyone recommends a warm one, and I tried just putting warm water in the passover humidifier, but he said he felt like he was suffocating.

Yes, I agree that the non-CPAP naps are counterproductive - I se a diffference immediately and can actually tell now if he has dozed off when I wasn't looking. I can sure understand why he would want the comfort of just curling up on the couch and snoozing like he used to, but I won't let him sleep without his CPAP now. It's gotten to be a joke... "Geez, can't you just let a poor guy sleep for a little while?" "Nope. Not without the mask!"

About the cookies: I bake, at his request, chocolate chip cookies pretty regularly. As luck would have it, we have two teenage girls in the house who can make a batch of them disappear in a matter of hours. For this reason, I usually stash about half the batch in the bedroom, and when Mike craves a cookie, I still have some. So... last night, the girls were in other rooms, and I brought out the last two cookies for him. I said, "You have to hide this evidence, okay?" He said, "Oh, in other words, eat them fast." I said I didn't think that was necessary, but he just couldn't leave them out in the open in case one of the girls walked by and saw them, so he hid them under a napkin while he munched on them. He thinks that is what prompted this 'dream' about cookies. LOL!
