I'm on week 3 and I feel absolutely terrible. I can't fall asleep with it on even with zolpidam. I see it as a torture device. My sleep specialist said I don't even need cpap, but that's the only treatment I was offered

I'm a stomach/side sleeper, will a cpap machine work while laying on my side? What about the at home test? For reference: I sleep on my stomach with one leg down and one leg bent up, and have my fist wrapped in blankets tucked under my chin. I often switch sides throughout the night, but I'll try tonight just staying on the side that faces my bedside table and see if that's possible for me.

A friend suggested nose hair wax remover and said it’s great for airflow. Do you recommend it?

I hope I can understand easily.
Over the phone I don't know if I will doing a good job.

Highly suggest using a quieter room. It’s distracting with all the room noise to focus on what you’re saying. Or use a clip on microphone so it gets your voice but no one else.
