A CPAP machine changed my life. I had undiagnosed sleep apnia for most of my adult life and just assumed being constantly tired was the way. Until 5 years ago, when I had a sleep study and started using a CPAP. I had avoided the problem it for so long because I didn't want to go sleep in some lab and how does someone sleep with a giant mask on their face every night. Just excuses despite multiple people telling me I would stop breathing when I slept and a habit of just falling a sleep when I stopped moving.
The answers were: you don't need to sleep in a lab anymore most places have take home units and you get used to it quick because sleeping 8 hours and just waking up refreshed and really is worth anything.
I can't preach any louder about getting a sleep study. It changed mine and my wife's lives for the better.
