I recently, a little over a year ago got diagnosed with severe sleep apnea. I was waking up 36x an hour for a very long time. I use a ResMed 11 with a 360 degree swivel headgear with nasal pillows. The unit does its own diagnostics every day. It is very easy to use and clean. I love it. Changed my life for sure. I was using dawn dish soap to clean it the last year. I started having some sinus issues. I switched over to this soap. A few drops and use the water pressure with hot water. Issues gone.

When I got tested, I was at 72x per hour. Now I am around 10. Big time game changer in the overall sleep quality.

I bet you feel as good as I do when I wake up now. 
I’m at around 1.5 episodes a night. Per my App.

I know nothing about this but you are waking up more than once a minute? 
How does that even happen?

Sleep apnea happens for a lot of different reasons.

You actually stop breathing, and that is what wakes you up. Bad for the heart, I’ve got it too. No good.

My uncle has used one that is not a mask. It is a nasal inserted type thing I think. Will look deeper. They are also installing electrodes in your chest now to interupt the cycle.
I used the mask for years, until i didnt, without it I ride the couch alot

The sleep study sucks, but it is good for you, because it is not an invasive procedure, and provides reliable information to help you make intelligent decisions.
Like Kramer says, 'dont let ‘em cut ya’

I also use the 360 degree swivel head gear. I tuck my heated hose behind my pillows and it swivels when I move from side to back or other side.
