I recommend every single person I know to screen themselves for Sleep Apnea -- My doctor estimates 30% of the population has it and most people go their whole lives without ever knowing. Personally, my CPAP has boosted by daily energy/wakefulness tremendously, I feel at least 40% more energy each morning when I get a perfect CPAP adherence overnight, and I only had a minor/moderate case. If you snore, you probably have it without knowing. Please get checked and make your life much better!

30% of the population do not have Apnea. Initial estimates in research were 3%, then a few years ago we started seeing numbers in the 8% to 12%. I have never seen a research paper that suggests anywhere near 30%, but that number gets batted around a bunch. I'm not going to say Apnea isn't a problem. It is. I'm happy it made your life better. If you snore, you do not "probably" have apnea.
