Snoring is "fine". There is some resistance, but it's likely you can still breathe sufficiently. The problem is when snoring stops.
By the way, my first sleep study was crap and I couldn't sleep and no conclusions were drawn.
The second was at home and I had a cpap machine waiting for me one day after I returned the results.
> If I felt I had an urgent problem I'd just deal with the study
By the time it's urgent you are already deep into other issues, such as high blood pressure. And now you have more than one issue to deal with. This is like the biological version of tech debt.
