One unexpected CPAP-related thing that surprised me is that, before I got the machine, I used to get up pretty frequently throughout the night with an intense need to pee. I assumed that that would still be the case once I used the CPAP -- you gotta go, you gotta go, right? -- but it turns out that once I didn't wake up for other reasons, I didn't have to wake up for that reason, either. I asked the CPAP people about it and they said it wasn't unusual.
Maybe my mind used to convince me that, if I was awake at 3 in the morning, it must be because I had to use the bathroom, or something? If so, it was a very convincing illusion.
