Interesting that no comments have been posted here since your initial post in May 2010..

I also have (while wearing my CPAP mask') accidently' fallen asleep for a short 'nap' with NO ABSORBENT protection and awakened 'dry'.. I have not read too much about sleep apnea and any connections with nocturnal enuresis.. what a great 'forum' this is.. thank you so much Health Central !
