A sleep study is a good thing.

However, you might be able to buy a good PRS1 Auto CPAP machine online for less than it will cost you out of pocket for a sleep study and new CPAP.

Definitely watch Craigslist in your area.

My insurance will pay the whole thing. It will all be free for me. I've been paying out of pocket because I couldn't do the sleep study (which my insurance will pay for). I believe I'll be able to do the study within a year.
