I've snored since college (6"-5", 190 lbs). Didn't feel it was disturbing my sleep, but what the frick do I know. However, my snoring definitely disturbed the sleep of others trying to rest.

About 35 years later (still 6"-5", but topped out at 337 lbs) I had a medical issue that required attention and snowballed into multiple visits to doctors and specialists. Among other things, I was diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea. I wasn't very concerned about the sleep apnea, because I had other things that were killing me. But, being a good boy, I got a CPAP and used it as directed.

It's not bad, once you get past the initial period of getting used to sleeping the a mask on. I don't feel noticeably better rested, but I'm not blaming the machine for that. I've got a fatigue issue from cancer treatment that hasn't resolved itself yet. However, I do think I'm sleeping more soundly because I'm only waking up to piss once or twice a night, as opposed to four or five times without the CPAP. I consider that a win, in this shitty stage of life!
