Silly/surprising side-benefits of sleeping with a CPAP:
* can pull covers over head and still breathe
* no more waking up dry+thirsty (humidified air, nose instead of mouth)
* reduced stuffiness from allergies (air filtered right before inhalation)
* elephant cosplay

On a more serious note, I've wondered a few times how much global productivity could be unlocked if everyone with unexplained daytime drowsiness got polysomnography to check for mild apnea. $10^11/yr wouldn't surprise me. I was drowsy during the day for *years* before realizing.

At-home polysomnography for all! I've talked to people who *realize* that apnea may be their problem, but they don't want to deal with going into a sleep center etc—and they don't realize they don't even have to do that anymore!

Isn't it incredibly uncomfortable?

I would describe it as "somewhat" uncomfortable. Certainly not pleasant, no, but not a big deal to sleep with for one night.
