If you do snore you should get checked out for sleep apnea! Or a deviated septum.

There are a lot of different models and types. It’ll affect you negatively in the long run if you don’t get it treated. My partner has sleep apnea and his mask is really small and is just 2 little nose “tubes” that just sit at the entrance of his nose. Obviously your health is your business but as someone who’s parents also both had it and now a partner it can be really bad if you don’t do anything about it.

i didn’t know it could get bad other than the snoring and waking up in the middle of the night (which i don’t have). the nose tubes definitely sound better than the “darth vader mask” my mom had. but still i have a feeling i’ll rip it off in my sleep since i’m like fighting a war in my sleep, tossing and turning and waking up with bruises

Lack of REM sleep can affect your memory, lack of sleep can affect your normal body functions and cause chronic fatigue etc. my partner is in his 20s and already recognizes that his memory is worse now than it was 3 years ago. He only recently got his CPAP.
