Sleep Apnea Treatment

Question by Deepak: If I start using CPAP machine, will I have to survive with the machine during my sleep forever?
Last week I was diagnosed with severe sleep apnea. As I cannot afford to a CPAP machine, I am still considering about the purchase. If I use one during night time, can I sleep at least 30 mins. during the day time without it?

Answer by Q
I bet if you get a CPAP, you’ll sleep so well in the nighttime that you won’t want to nap in the daytime. But, yes, since it’s harmful to your body to experience sleep apnea, ideally you will use it whenever you sleep. But if you sleep for 30 min in the daytime without it, yet sleep at nighttime with it, you’re still much better off than if you don’t use it at all.

would this be considered a sleep disorder, medical or psychological?
I’ve had dark circles under my eyes for almost my entire life… I went through alot of abuse as a child, which more often than not occured at night, so I never had proper sleep. can this add up over time? and if so, what can sleep deprivation or sleeping disorders overall affect your health?
