Gene Simmons using a CPAP

Post by newyorknative » Mon Dec 20, 2010 1:52 am

Did anyone see Gene Simmons on TV the other night (his reality show) where he went to the sleep clinic and wound up using a CPAP? I could not identify his model of machine. But I think he was using a comfort gel mask.

I was in chat when another chatter brought it to our attention so I got to see it starting at the part where he was sitting in bed with the mask on. Curious how much attention the show will give it in the future. Also interesting that his wife was sleep eating on a sleeping pill. She wasn't very complimentary of his cpap mask. Did the ashow address his problems leading up to getting a study?

Okay, let me take a wild guess.....

the root cause of Gene Simmons apnea is a rather large tongue.

KISS bassist Gene Simmons had a cow's tongue grafted onto his in 1970.

The machine Gene Simmons is using is the same as mine...a ResMed S9 with the H5i humidifier. Can't tell if it's an Autoset, Elite or whatever.
