I have one, and I use it, semi-religiously. Every four or five nights I tear the thing off because I can’t stand it. In my case, my sleep study indicated that I had dozens and dozens of apnea events/hour at night. This unit shows 1-2.5 events per hour. I think it improves my sleep maybe about 10%, but it does not solve the problem of me absolutely conking out as two or three in the afternoon.
My older brother, who snores like a freaking rhinoceros in heat, swears by his unit.

One of the signs of sleep apnea is afternoon fatigue and tiredness. Dad was a farmer and he had a hard time not taking a one or two hour nap in the early afternoon. In those days - 1950s - we were mostly ignorant about sleep apnea, so dad just persevered through it. In his later years, he went into the hospital to have his insulin adjusted and the nurse said she put him to bed at night, came in to check on him later, and he had passed without even disturbing his bed covers.
