I was recently diagnosed with sleep apnea. I'm on the very lower end of "moderate" (about 16 interruptions per hour), which fortunately means that the oral appliances are effective.

I've been suspicious of myself having sleep apnea for quite awhile now, and I held off on getting an official diagnosis in no small part because those CPAP machines give me anxiety; I'm somewhat convinced that I would never really get used to them, and I would wake up feeling like a head crab was attacking me. I had also heard some horror stories (not dissimilar to the Phillips machines) that really held me off.

I'm very grateful that the oral appliances exists, now even more so.
