it all depends on whether the cpap unit has the option of 12v supply. otherwise you will need a small inverter to convert 12v dc to 240v ac and some way to recharge the battery

How much electric does it use. Does it have a plate/sticker with the power details?

I think you would need a good bank of batteries to use one overnight, every night and you would possibly need an inverter attached to the batteries to run it. Then you would have to be able to recharge the batteries enough for the next night. Most people that need medical equipment overnight tend to use a small quiet honda type genny with inverter/sine wave technology the only problem with that is being able to make the genny secure enough when wilding.
There is a system called 'efoy' fuel cell but i dont know much about it, other than it is quiet

A CPAP machine deals with sleep/breathing problems

for those interested, CPAP, or continuous positive airway pressure, is a treatment that uses mild air pressure to keep the airways open. Often used for people with sleep apnea or other breathing difficulties whilst sleeping
