    Same, it quite literally changed my life. I went from sleeping 12h in a row, still waking up groggy and generally being a walking zombie, to being functional after 7h of sleep. Young children still make it hard to get those 7h of consecutive sleep, but this gets better with time.

      Hell yeah I had a really poor memory and was always exhausted. I had to nap every day. Now with the CPAP I get 8 hours of sleep and I can remember things that happened weeks ago

        Do you remember what your AHI (Apnea-Hypopnea Index, number of “events” oper hour) was? Normal is 5 or less, severe sleep apnea is 30 or more - I was at 69 events an hour. Considering an event is either 10 seconds or more without breathing (or a more or less equivalent drop in blood oxygenation due to partial respiratory tract blockage), it means I wasn’t breathing for at least an hour and half every night 😂
