You will have Congestive Heart Failure in 20 years if you dont get on CPAP. But, that's not the motivation as to why people finally get on CPAP. It's either their pardner bugging them about snoring or quitting breathing.
The best reason for getting on CPAP is that it will immediately improve the quality of your life. First night you are able to tolerate the mask or nasal pillows for more than a couple of hours, you will wake up feeling better than you have in years. It's an immediate benefit. Not snoring betters the life of your pardner because they can stay in REM III sleep themselves for longer periods of their sleep time because your not waking them up with your snoring. Or concern about you quitting breathing.
On CPAP you are able to stay in REM III sleep for a longer period. The longer you stay in the REM III stage of sleep, the better you feel the next day, the more energy you have. Thats true with all people.
