The difference maker for me was an app, Snore Lab. that my son told me to try. It said that my snoring was EPIC. That led to my current CPAP use, for which the benefits [no daytime sleepiness, more energy, no food cravings] exceed the hassle [mask wearing, cleaning routine, supplies reordering.]

Four events per hour AHI improvement would not be a meaningful change for my therapy, but this is the beginning of better treatment options in the future.

The best benefit of CPAP is that it thwarts heart arrhythmias which arise from depriving the brain of oxygen.
