I bet you would be surprised to learn just how many people are affected with sleep apnea...it is very common and many people have it but have not been diagnosed. My eldest son (42) has been wearing a CPAP for several years....myself...it will be a year in November. There are no disadvantages; if you have been diagnosed you should wear one. Just be patient as it takes everyone a different amount of time (days/weeks) to get used to wearing one. But once you get used to it...you will WANT to wear it every night. Good luck and sleep well!
