I'm going through this right now. I know I probably need a cpap machine, so paying $300 out of pocket to rent a stupid device to record my sleep seems like a waste.
- tpmx 5y agoWell, at least you're doing it. Crude but realistic: There is a pretty high number of (often but not always overweight) undiagnosed/untreated people suffering from obstructive sleep apnea on the roads every day. They are causing a number of avoidable accidents every day. I think it's criminal to make CPAP as unaccessible as it is in the US.

- tpmx 5y agoYeah, I probably lost a few years of productivity myself, before I got it diagnosed.
- bradknowles 5y agoMy CPAP totally changed my life. I had no idea how horrible my sleep had been before. I refuse to sleep a single night without it.
- onemoresoop 5y agoDid you experience Aerophagia and any weight gain when you got on the CPAP? I hear a lot of people have this issue..
