just do the sleep study and if your insurance is decent it will be taken care of. there are surgeries and implants now that can help as i understand it. im used to sleeping with a hose and nose pillow and I can not understate it changed my life getting a good nights sleep. i still nap from time to time, but it is not mandatory and when I do the PAP is on.
check the obits, less and less middle aged men are "dying peacefully in their sleep" now days. apnea is far from a "peaceful" way to go.

I agree.
And, the old cpap masks were awful (I tried one once and couldn’t go more than 15 minutes).
But the new lightweight nasal pillow designs are a dream.
I get such better sleep with it, and wake up fully refreshed. Without it, I’ll usually wake up foggy and with a bit of a headache. That can’t be good long term!
