My husband has on occasion. The thing he is just so darn tired from suffering with the sleep apnea that sometimes he just wants to 'sleep' and not fuss with it. He currently has issues with all of his masks and gets no relief. For someone who has apnea and NO problems with using their CPAP, then YES, they should use it all the time.

If I need a nap, I usually don't use the machine. But most of my naps come unexpectedly when I doze off in my recliner.
