Ah, no such luck over here in the colonies, mine cost me AU$3k. 💸
I work with a young man who is now on CPAP therapy. He was always falling asleep in my car or on public transport and struggling to breathe, snoring, etc. I convinced his mum to get him a sleep test and it's turned his life around. He's seeing more benefits than I have and he's only been on it for a few months. Typical. He got a free machine because he's disabled and on benefits.

I only got tested because my wife didn't like the snoring. Never had any issues with being tired or falling asleep at all. Have to fill in questionnaires every year and I'm 1s or 0s for every scenario of when I'm likely to fall asleep.
Funnily enough, the thing that makes me wake up thinking I can't breathe is the sodding CPAP. It's horrible. I hate using it, it often makes me bloated, it sometimes give me reflux and on occasion i get woken up because there's sodding bile in my mouth. I've had to get them to turn the pressure down a few times.
Mine is free on the NHS.
