Got a CPAP at 51 years of age. Probably needed it at least 15 years earlier tbh.

Amazing. 10/10. Will never sleep without now.

The most important thing is about lost money. It can be about the quality of sleep and the health of those people but first, consider the economy and what it costs us. You could have nore money. We could make more money. We like money.

Same. Got mine about 9 months ago. The difference is staggering.

It's a good argument for why countries should invest in helping treat people with sleep apnea. It's why my cost here in Sweden for mine was 70 EUR - in total. The explicit reason for why we subsidize them is that our healthcare system then will have less people coming in with heart issues (amongst other things).
