I'll third what Basic Patrick and SKD have said here already.
I was a world champion snorer for the last 20 years. My wife the nurse knew I had OSA and finally just about had to drag me to get a sleep study last March. Put me in the severe category, and I started on cpap (6 bars) in April. It SUCKED the first couple of months, and many nights I tore that mask off my face just so I could get some "sleep". I was finally able to work my way up to a couple of hours in a row each night, then about four, but I still wasn't convinced it was doing anything. Then they changed me to a different mask in July and bumped me up to 7 bars, and I'm getting through the whole night now, and was just thinking a couple days ago how much better I was feeling in the morning, and realized I wasn't dozing off at my desk in the afternoons anymore. That and my blood pressure is lower than it's been in years.
It's not fun getting used to it, but stick with it cause it works and has a lot of great benefits.
