Does My CPAP Machine Have a Favorite TV Show?

If you’ve ever woken up in the middle of the night to your CPAP machine quietly humming, you might have wondered…

Does my CPAP machine have a personality?

And if it does, what kind of TV shows would it enjoy? After all, it spends every night by your side, listening to your snoring, your weird half-conscious mumblings, and whatever you left playing on Netflix before you dozed off.

So, let’s dive into the highly scientific (not at all scientific) analysis of what your CPAP machine’s favorite TV show might be, based on its personality, quirks, and general attitude toward life.

1. The No-Nonsense CPAP Machine: “Breaking Bad”

If your CPAP machine is one of those high-end, clinical-looking devices with a name like “ResMed AirSense 11 AutoSet” and a screen full of complicated sleep data, then it’s probably a Breaking Bad fan.

Why? Because it respects precision. It understands chemistry. It calculates every breath you take with ruthless efficiency. Just like Walter White, it’s not here for fun—it’s here to fix problems.

It doesn’t care about your complaints.
It doesn’t care that you think the humidifier tank is annoying to clean.
It just cares that you follow the damn instructions.

So if your machine could talk, it would probably say, “I am the one who breathes.”

2. The Budget CPAP Machine: “The Office”

If you’re rocking a low-cost, no-frills CPAP machine that gets the job done but isn’t exactly glamorous, its favorite show is definitely The Office.

Why? Because it’s relatable. It understands the daily grind.
Like Michael Scott, it’s not the best in the game, but it tries its hardest.
Like Dwight Schrute, it takes itself a little too seriously, even when it’s being kind of ridiculous.

Sure, your CPAP might occasionally make a weird noise or struggle with ramp settings, but in the end, it’s there for you—just like Pam was always there for Jim.

3. The Overly Sensitive CPAP Machine: “Grey’s Anatomy”

Does your CPAP machine constantly beep at you for the smallest thing?

Low water level? BEEP.

A tiny mask leak? BEEP.

Accidentally sneezed while wearing your mask? BEEP.

Congratulations, your CPAP machine is a Grey’s Anatomy superfan.

Like the doctors at Grey Sloan Memorial, it thrives on drama. It wants your full attention at all times. It will not be ignored. And just when you think everything is going smoothly, BAM—out of nowhere, it throws a new error message at you, just like Grey’s randomly kills off major characters.

If your CPAP machine were a person, it would be staring dramatically into the rain right now.

4. The Travel CPAP Machine: “Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown”

If you have one of those sleek, ultra-portable travel CPAP machines, it definitely vibes with Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown.

It’s small, it’s adventurous, and it doesn’t care where you take it—it’s just happy to be along for the ride.

Whether you’re sleeping in a hotel, an airplane, or a camper van in the middle of nowhere, it’s always ready to provide reliable air pressure, no matter how questionable the local tap water is.

Your CPAP doesn’t just love travel—it lives for it.

5. The Loud CPAP Machine: “COPS”

Is your CPAP machine unnecessarily loud? Does it sound like a jet engine revving up every time you turn it on? Is it keeping your partner awake more than your snoring used to?

If so, it definitely watches COPS.

Much like the show, it never stops making noise. Whether it’s a constant whooshing sound, the occasional high-pitched whine, or a full-on Darth Vader breathing effect, this CPAP machine has zero chill. It’s always on duty, always watching, always making sure you get your air.

Your sleep study results? Bad boys, bad boys, whatcha gonna do?

6. The High-Maintenance CPAP Machine: “Keeping Up with the Kardashians”

If your CPAP machine requires constant filter changes, daily humidifier refills, and mask replacements that feel way too frequent, it’s probably obsessed with Keeping Up with the Kardashians.

It’s high-maintenance. It’s demanding. It always wants new accessories.
And yet, despite all of this, you can’t imagine life without it.

It might make you feel exhausted sometimes, but at the end of the day, it still gives you what you need—just like Kris Jenner making sure the family empire never falls apart.

7. The Indestructible CPAP Machine: “Survivor”

Some CPAP machines have been through everything—power surges, travel mishaps, pets chewing on the tubing—and yet, they still work.

If your CPAP has been running strong for years without fail, it definitely loves Survivor.

It’s been voted off the island multiple times (you swore you were going to upgrade), but somehow, it always makes a comeback. No matter what obstacles it faces—low humidity, power outages, questionable cleaning habits—it outlasts, outplays, and outperforms.

Your CPAP doesn’t just work. It wins.

8. The AI-Enabled CPAP Machine: “Black Mirror”

If you have one of those high-tech, Bluetooth-enabled CPAP machines that tracks your sleep, syncs with an app, and sends data directly to your doctor, it 100% watches Black Mirror.

Because let’s be honest—this thing probably knows more about you than you do.
How many hours you slept? Check.
How many times you stopped breathing? Check.
Your darkest secrets? … Probably check.

If your CPAP machine ever starts talking to you in the middle of the night, don’t panic. (Actually, no—definitely panic.)

Final Thoughts

Does your CPAP machine actually have a favorite TV show? Probably not. (Unless you know something I don’t, in which case… run.) But if you spend enough nights relying on it, it’s easy to imagine it having a personality of its own.

So next time you settle into bed, maybe leave the TV on for it—after all, it’s working hard while you’re fast asleep…
