I have sleep apnea. It’s very common. Get a sleep study so you’re properly evaluated and referred to the correct CPAP solution you’ll need. Then sleep with it.

I had an early model where it had a lot of background noise that wasn’t so bad for my spouse. However at certain points my mouth would open up and I’d emit a loud pressurized Darth Vader-like sound from my mouth. I’m checking with my provider to see if I can another sleep study and a different CPAP that will not bother my spouse as much.

Fun fact, sleep apnea is very dangerous and life threatening if left untreated. Get tested if you’re constantly exhausted and never feel like you get quality sleep. If you have a partner you share a bed with, they can help you identify you’re snoring and if you sound like you’re choking while you’re asleep - this happened to me and my partner woke me terrified that I might be dying.
