He also explains the symptoms of OSA and talks about how women in particular often believe they have insomnia when in fact they have apnea.

Sleep apnea can be very embarrassing with having to be on a mask. though this is so its saving your life and friendships around you. being on a mask makes you a thousand time less irratating grumpy and impatient. by helping with this it causes your family and friends to stay friends with a more happier and enjoyable you. there are thousands and thousands of people put on machines daily there is help out there.

make sure there are no clock radios or phones close to your head, the electric field can have a big effect on sleep
