Interesting. Maybe it's not just about not being a regulated medical device, but who pays for it (insurance). So maybe the conspiracy that's tru is the payers can be expected to not want to have to pay so much, or so often.

I'm very happy for who CPAP works for.

I have lots of friends who's quality of life it improves.

Had a doctor friend even recommend it to me.

I took the CPAP test from a said sleep centre as referred by my doctor just to be present. Wore the machine 3 times.

The folks who in my life swore I had some issues with sleep (including my partner), including loud inter floor snoring, oddly reduced or resolved themselves to some degree as soon as I started paying attention to my sleep and body.

Snoring it turns out can also be a magnified by being over tired.

I just wasn't sleeping enough, and while I felt sharp enough to work and live, my body needed a breather when there hadn't been a vacation for a few years. A few days off here and there yes, but sometimes that's not enough.
