Sleep apnea is dangerous. My husband told me I quit breathing while I was sleeping besides the snoring and I was always tired. I did a sleep study and got a CPAP. It took a little getting used to but I think it was mostly me! I feel so much better, am more rested, and don't get up during the night to use the bathroom anymore. You need to make up your mind that you are going to do this. I use the nasal pillows and really like them. I travel with the machine which is a pain, but both of us get a better night's sleep. Good luck!
