I'm glad to hear he is going along with it all!! I've heard of people not wanting to wear the mask and stuff for vanity reasons or just because they believe they don't need it.
Some people do notice the benefits right away...I didn't. I guess I figured it took a few years of bad sleep for me to get that tired, it might take a few months for me to catch back up!
He may notice some things right away and others in a few weeks or so.
I used to come home from work in the evening and pass out on the couch within an hour or two...then go upstairs and sleep all night. I don't do that anymore (okay, sometimes I still do...when I don't feel well).
I think your DH will feel more energetic. He may (surprisingly) feel more relaxed (blood pressure is another issue that sleep apnea makes worse). He may be calmer and notice fewer "aches and pains" if he had any. It's hard to really say since each person is different.
