    No, it’s a medical condition where they can’t breathe properly while sleeping and get worse sleep as a result.

    It’s more like look at me, I am barely able to sleep enough to function! I wake myself up randomly with my snoring, and sometimes I just stop breathing and wake up with no air pouring sweat in a complete panic feeling like I’m about to die. every night. It’s great

        My insurance won’t cover it and they are super expensive. Even the sleep study is over a thousand dollars and not covered at all

          I know a relative that gets them from ebay, some people get them through insurance and they don’t like it and end up selling them really cheap

          I know it isn’t nearly as simple as this will make it sound, but I HIGHLY RECOMMEND finding a way to get one anyway. Sleep Apnea can fuck you up in a lot of ways.
