It seems that everyone who does the sleep study ends up with a CPAP.

Would the CPap help somebody with a deviated septum? I can’t breath at all from one of my nostrils.

My wife snores. I use earplugs. Cheap and effective

Reggie White died from heart disease accredited to his long term sl÷p apnea. He was in great physical shape at the time. Research for the last decade is showing a strong correlation between sleep apnea and heart disease, attacks, stroke, etc.
Cplauche1994 is right!
Men and women, if you snor, please take a sleep test.
If you get a cpap or bpap, you will notice better sleep, awake refreshed and rested like never before.
Side benefit, your morning Mr. Happy will come back like when you were 17.

CPAP isn’t for fatties baw, sleep apnea is a silent killer and is hereditary. Your tongue either falls into your throat and you suffocate yourself throughout the night or some people have a condition where their brain doesn’t signal to tell them to breathe in their sleep. Not only will it slowly kill you from sleep deprivation, but also leads to heart disease, strokes, and heart attacks. You might not have it but you can have an at home sleep study to rule it out. 80% of people with sleep apnea are undiagnosed.
Man some of y'all are out of control. My dad is almost 90 years old and has snored the paint off the walls for half a century. But keep on keepin on spending money I guess.

Honestly, CPAP is a no brainer. I have used one for 25 years and wouldn’t go a night without it. Not only will it save your life but it will change your life and those around you. A sleep study or whatever you need, but do it. The first night you sleep through the night with a CPAP, you will understand. Best wishes…

Mouth guard that brings your jaw forward
I did the sleep study thing and was told I needed a CP but absolutely did not want to be wear a damn mask on my face while trying to sleep...so I got fitted for a "snore guard" at my dentist. Takes a bit to get used to but as per my wife, my snoring has been reduced by 90+%.
Snore guard, nose strips, and Breathe Well Salve and my sleep is damn near perfect.

Not all snoring is sleep apnea. Maybe your dad is simply a snorer.
For me, that was not the case. My wife begged me for years to have a sleep study done because she said I would stop breathing. I finally gave in and they recommended a CPAP and it has made a world of difference in my sleep. I am not sure I can fall asleep without it anymore.

sleep study & CPAP because that's only for fatties
Big question is if you stop breathing while sleeping. There's a difference between snoring and not breathing.

Sleep study and CPAP
I did this recently, because my wife complains about my snoring. The snoring doesn't bother me at all.
The CPAP machines are ridiculously cumbersome and annoying. I never made it through a night wearing the thing and took it back after a week.
If you sneeze or cough or something, it's literally a nightmare with this machine blowing air into your face.
frick that shite.

The nose pillow isn't that big of a deal. Try that instead of the face mask

I wasn’t saying all snoring is sleep apnea, I was saying it’s better to be safe than to be sorry and get checked. Everyone has apnea’s when they sleep but at a certain point when it is too consistent you can starve your brain of oxygen. In my case I was close to having an apnea almost every minute and was never able to get into REM sleep. Sleeping with the CPAP was like sleeping for the first time in my life. No more waking up feeling like I was hung over every morning, feeling like a narcoleptic throughout the day falling asleep at work or behind the wheel, no more swollen throat from snoring, and actually being able to dream.

I’ve seen similar posted on here in numerous threads. This was never the case for me. I even stopped using the CPAP for years and finally recommitted. Still no difference for me. I wake up groggy everyday regardless of conditions.

CPAP user here. Not thin and not a fattie. Snored big time so went for sleep apnea study. Did the take home version. Went back for results and PA walked in the room and her eyes got kind of big. I asked what’s wrong she said you are not what I was expecting with these numbers. I stopped breathing on avg 68 times an hour in the study. Got the cpap with the nasal pillows I think they are called. Night 1 I stopped breathing 5x an hour and since then it’s been 1x. Never thought I slept bad before cpap but realized about 2 weeks in I was sleeping much better. Now can’t sleep without it.

They had a sleep study because they had an issue in the first place. By the way, I don’t like using the CPAP but it’s currently the best option.
I actually have an appointment for the Inspire device however I have changed my mind as I don’t want a device placed in my body, It’s an invasive surgery as well. Also, if you don’t like it after it’s been placed inside you, too bad, they can remove the device but the wire going to your throat/tongue area and the other one placed near your right lung are there forever. That’s a no-go for me.

You can do an at home sleep study. I even saw a product recently where they ship you a home test and if you need it they prescribe a mouth guard device which works for some in lieu of CPAP.
My quality of if is substantially better w CPAP and no I'm not a fatties. In fact, I'm not overweight and VO2Max is exceptional.
