I’m kind of bummed but also kind of relieved as at least I know I’m not going insane and it’s something physical - at least a major part of it. Worst thing is the 3-6 month wait to see the cpap specialist to try and get a machine organized - wtf!?!

Sleep apnea seems likely. If it was me I’d check buy-and-sell sites as many people get a machine and give up on it. My friend couldn’t tolerate his and abandoned it after only a few uses despite my protests. You couldn’t claim it through a health plan but it could save your life.
