Oh I feel you. Until I was diagnosed with sleep apnoea and put on Cpap my life was a hellscape of brain fog and exhaustion.
As far as we can tell, not enough sleep apnea to qualify for a machine (well, insurance won't)
So I get to clean a cpap every morning for my husband but not use one! Ah well.
It's not cheap, like $1,000 plus periodic supplies but you can buy your own cpap. What I don't know is how you can get it calibrated to your needs without seeing a sleep specialist.
Broke as fuck so that's a no go. We can only do it if the insurance agrees. They agreed with husband because he was very very bad. I'm within normal human operating standards though so no go.
This reminds me I should probably clean my cpap way more than I do...
You're supposed to clean it? 😂
I clean it every morning because it's just easier to do. Hose is one a week, checking filters and everything once a month. I found unscented dish soap and a toothbrush to scrub it all with. Fuck distilled water though, but the hard water is why I scrub every day.
