I had the symptoms. i'd wake up tired because I never could sleep well. I'd wake up with a dry throat. I would have nightmares. My wife would tell me, that at times, It sounded like I was gasping for air. I took the test and it came back positive. Saia paid for everything. The test, the machine, the monitoring, the regular supply changes.
I've got to tell you, that in my case, it was a game changer. I use the nasal mask, which just fits over the nose. It took just a couple of days to get used to wearing the small mask and now I don't even notice it. Because of the constant humidified nasal airflow, I don't have a dry throat, the nightmares are gone, and I don't gasp for air. I don't have any entanglement issues, with the hose. I sleep on my stomach, my right side, my left side, and never on my back. Also, while sleeping during the day, its hard to get the bedroom as dark as I like it, but, because of using the constant nasal airflow, I am able to pull the bedcovers over my head,which creates a pitch black atmosphere.
I wouldn't go back to sleeping without it.
