I have a couple more hurdles to jump through before we can proceed, but I'm so hopeful for success. Not sleeping well is something that affects ALL aspects of one's life, as many have shown in here.

Best of luck... I was starting to look at some of the available surgical options and was at the point where I was going to just go to the states for a couple weeks for a surgery and slap in on the old HELOC, as they seem to have more advanced options there. But before I started hacking apart the inside of my face, I decided to give the CPAP an honest effort, if for anything, my wife.
For me it boiled down to the mask. When I did my trial a year and a bit back, they gave me the in the nostril pillow thing, it was awful, and I couldn't bear it and immediately gave up.
I tried the N20 nasal mask this time... (basically looks like a hockey cup over your nose)... and I barely noticed it.
Best of luck, I hope you find the relief you are looking for.
On a side note, last night I dozed off on the couch and auto-piloted myself into bed at some point in the night and didn't put it on. Low and behold, I feel like trash today. I can't wait to get a solid night sleep tonight with it on.
