If you'd have asked we could have toldja. In fact we had a rather extensive
thread on C-PAP and Bi-PAP usage just a few months ago. Lots of us use them to
good effect.

Lack of "good" sleep causes weight gain. Weight gain causes lack of good sleep.
It's called hetrodyning (like in radio) where one feeds the other. I suspect
your weight loss is your body being able to take better care of itself because
it is more properly rested.    Bv)=

  All soup fans will be more than pleased with this splendid
  soup.
  
  In a heavy saucepan over medium-low heat, sauté the chopped
  onion and leeks until onion is transparent.
  
  Stir in pumpkin, potato, tomatoes and chicken stock, salt,
  both peppers and Tabasco sauce. Add chopped celery leaves
  and parsley. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes. Remove from
  heat. Vegetables should be tender. Allow to cool somewhat.
  
  Process soup in a blender or food processor, in batches if
  necessary, until soup is puréed.
  
  Return the soup to the saucepan and bring to a simmer for
  about 10 minutes. Add the cream and butter and continue
  heating, but do not allow it to boil.
  
  Makes about 8 servings.
  
  Note: Oddly enough, your old blender will give you a smoother
  result here than your fancy-schmancy food processor. Garnish
  with homemade croutons or serve with a hot dark bread. This
  is wonderful soup.
