Is a blatant lie. A CPAP works for millions, including me.

I had sleep apnea when I was young, skinny and sporty. Then I got old, fat and sedentary and of course it got worse. I was falling asleep while driving.
I tried a CPAP machine and could not stand it for more than 10 minutes. However my apnea got worse so that I actually did not want to fall sleep because I did not want to wake up choking and gasping for breath. Literally a nightmare.
So I forced myself to stick with the CPAP the whole night through and woke up refreshed and alert. I cannot live without it.
Specifically for patients with _positional_ sleep apnea there are wearables (actual medical device not welness) that stop the patient from sleeping on their back, and hence stop the positional obstruction.
These wearables are way less cumbersome and invasive than pressure devices.
