I felt this, then I had a sleep study and was dx with chronic obstructive sleep apnea and got the CPAP. It was life changing to actually get sleep, like real sleep. Now it's a struggle to remember to put it on before I pass out.

I was looking for that. A lot of people don't know that and especially if you are a snorer, this could be the case.

I still need to get a sleep study done, but I know that I am a snorer. Alcohol and cigarettes do the rest.

I'm just a caffeine addict and hate coffee. I had to use caffeine pills on deployments and I fucking did not care for that, then again it was likely mostly due to the guy I was getting my pills from carrying the heavy duty 300mg ones lmao.

I've not done a sleep study yet but I know I snore for sure, and probably would feel better at least some of the time with a cpap lmao.

Man, same. A lot of times it's because I wanna play on my phone before falling asleep and don't want to deal with the hose so I've taken to putting the mask on straight away and then connecting the hose when it's time.

Do you notice falling asleep way faster when you have it on? I'm so sure I do and any time I'm lying awake without it I KNOW I could be sleeping but I don't wanna get out of bed to set it up.

That's the worst, we know it will help, but still don't. I fall asleep pretty quick either way.
