The apnea before treatment didn't wake me all the way up so I would think I have a good chance of sleeping through a power outage. At times while going to sleep I will do something with my mouth and the pressure will block my ears. I have to turn the machine off in order to "pop" my ears. While the machine is off I can still breathe without much problem.

What has me worried is the CO2 buildup that I would guess happens without the machine to flush it through the vent holes. Could this cause a serious situation or permanent damage?
