No one cared who I was until I put on the mask.

Try starting with breathe rite strips and nasal irrigation before bed, it made a huge difference in my sleep/recovery since I used to get night time congestion. If you actually have sleep apnea it may not be enough though

My Apple Watch says no abnormalities detected in my sleep but I often wake up in different weird positions indicating im moving a ton in my sleep and literally some times wake up from not breathing so I just ordered an at home sleep test for $190

My AHI was 24 when I got tested. Which means around every 2 minutes per hour I'm not breathing correctly. Every 2 minutes, during a night.
And it's only considered "moderate" sleep apnea.

Untreated sleep apnea will literally kill you, but I guess that's better than the "hassle of getting a prescription."
But then again on 4chan, "hassle" = "I have severe social anxiety and am too scared to leave the house and go see a doctor and have no money or insurance anyway."

I went for a sleep study and "failed it". The doctor didn't seem concerned with my symptom of 24/7 debilitating fatigue. I went and bought a CPAP off Facebook marketplace. That was 2 years ago. I have had tremendous improvement on it. I no longer wake up tired. I will be getting jaw surgery next to cure my sleep apnea. This will advance my maxilla (upper jaw) making my airway 3x bigger so I can breathe properly at both day and night. This is all necessary because as a kid I was a non-stop mouthbreather which as everyone knows destroys the facial development.

i don't think i have apnea nor social anxiety. just a hassle to make a visit and spend a boatload of money for something you could get free of prescription in other countries. i do get 8-9 hours of sleep per day, but i do wake up occasionally with dry throat, but i don't sleep with mouth open according to gf. i just wanna try it for that extra recovery juice.

Do a Lofta at-home sleep study. They're not very expensive, and they will pretty much throw a CPAP machine at you because they want you to buy all your shit from them (but you can refuse and buy the machine/supplies cheaper elsewhere). Don't overpay for one of the wifi ones either, get one with an SD card and you can use a free program called OSCAR to monitor your sleep metrics.
In my opinion, though, CPAPs are really fucking unpleasant to sleep with to the point where whatever benefits I got from it were offset by how much it sucked. It's uncomfortable having a bunch of shit strapped to your face/head and a tube dangling off you. If you use the nasal masks, you can't yawn without air blasting out of your throat, and if you open your mouth while you sleep that'll keep waking you up. Getting up to piss is an annoying ordeal since you gotta shut the machine off, unclip yourself, and look at your dumbass mask in the mirror every time.
I probably should have given it more time, but I sold mine (lost a fair bit on it too). Hated being strapped to that shit every night.
