I had 70+ interruptions during the night, woke up feeling like crap, trudged through the workday and endured headaches in the office.
I thought this was normal - that you were supposed to feel tired in the morning and that I had headaches because my job sucked.
Nope, I had severe sleep apnea. Everything I described went away almost immediately. I wake up refreshed most days, I haven't needed an Advil in months, and I've been much healthier.
Yes, it's a bit expensive but CPAP is worth it. It's a one time cost, takes a few seconds to clean every morning and it only took me about a week to get use to wearing. (I had a trendency to pull it off in the night)
The only ongoing cost is some distilled water and I have to replace the face mask every couple of years as the plastic wears out.
