Barbara Cocoranis bringing a little something extra to the bedroom these days.
In a recentInstagram post, theShark Tankexpert, 74, shared a photo of herself sitting on a bed wearing a CPAP machine mask. “Told Bill I had a surprise tonight. This isn’t what he was hoping for. 😂,” she joked, referring to her husband of 35 years, Bill Higgins, making light of her new medical device.
A CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) machine uses mild pressure to keep a person’s airways open while they sleep, helping to treat obstructive sleep apnea, snoring and other breathing problems, according toMayo Clinic.

Others praised the businesswoman for being real and bringing awareness to the common use of CPAP devices. “Thanks for sharing — making medical equipment ‘normal’ rather than shameful,” one commenter said.
Another wrote, “Thank you for making this post! Think many associate sleep apnea with obesity. You are a perfect example of a normal, healthy person who also suffers from sleep apnea.”

Cocoran, who is known for her sense of humor, shared another funnyInstagram postin May when she took a stab at recreatingMartha Stewart’s sultrySports Illustrated Swimsuitspread.
“I can’t cook, but I sure can swim. @si_swimsuit @marthastewart48,” Corcoran quipped in the post’s caption.
“You’ve seen Martha Stewart…but have you seen me?” she deadpanned on her Instagram Story, tagging the lifestyle maven.
The clip captured her lying in a bathtub dressed in a light pink robe and hot pink heels with a pink curler in her hair. In another scene, she lounged on a bed wearing a dark pink dress trimmed with feathers. Her eyes were covered with a pink bunny-inspired mask.
“Who me?! Hi Barbie! 💕💖🎀💗” she wrote in her caption.
