I have sleep apnea, and ADHD. Before getting on CPAP life was pretty tough. It definitely exacerbated my ADHD at least 2x. So, I can understand that if you're neurotypical and have sleep apnea it is going to be affecting your executive function such that you aren't at 100%. The flip side is ADHDers are significantly more likely to be morbidly obese and have other health complications like sleep apnea as a result. At that point it's a real downward spiral. Very glad I finally sought treatment for my apnea after kicking the can down the road for 4 whole years, which is very typical ADHD behavior in itself.
For real though CPAP is life changing if you need it and you get on it.
