I'll wear this gadget tonight to maybe learn something.
Anyone troubled with it?

Takes a few weeks to get used to. You'll feel suffocated by it until then.

I use a BiPap machine. It is a pita in my opinion. But, Dr. Says it’s a must for my issue.

Yes, I’m cursed by it. Been on a CPAP for a little over a year.
My sleep study said I stopped breathing around 32 times an hour. With the CPAP its down to around one time an hour and my wife likes the no snoring.
I don’t like the mask but I do feel more rested when I wake up in the morning and I also don’t wake up in the middle of the night with one of those splitting headaches that feels like I chased a case of beer with a half a carton of cigarettes, lol.

Have had a CPAP for 27 years. At this point, I can’t sleep without it. Somehow misplaced the electrical cord for mine while on a business trip. Was a miserable couple days till I could replace it.

Three martinis and a CBD gummie here so I don't know about sleep apnea.

I sleep with an APAP. I feel much better and not tired. It a while to get it set to the best for me. I use a full mask.

Since 2014 CPAP has been a life changer.
Hang in there during the getting used to it stage.

Been on a cpap for 3 years. It helps a lot, almost as much as retirement.

Done a couple. A good one will tell you a lot, including whether you have sleep apnea, how severe it is, and whether it's positional meaning, is it worse in certain positions. Mine is positional, when I'm sleeping on my back.

Been on a CPAP for about 15 yrs. Makes a big difference. Only took about 4 nights to get used to the nasal pillow/headgear thing.

I've been using a cpap machine for 2 years now. I don't have apnea in the sense that I stop breathing but I did wake up something like 30 times an hour and of course I'd have to piss around three times a night.
One of the best effects of using the machine is that I sleep straight through the night without having to pee multiple times.
And I drink water up until I go to sleep.

I was tested for it about a week in a half ago. Still waiting on the results. I'm pretty sure I don't have it. I hope not anyway.
