I have thought about it, although it is quite expensive ($1500 - $2000 out of pocket).
I am a few kilos under weight for my height, so it hasn't felt like an obvious move. But I do want to get to the bottom of my sleep issues- it affects every aspect of my life.
That's a shame. I think I paid about $70 being in Australia with the other ~$500 covered. If they had managed to fix me, it would be probably be a very good investment for Medicare since poor sleep predicts many issues.
You could try nasal strips to open up your nose as a cheap hack in the meantime and see if it works. They make me itchy so I stopped, but did help my airflow when they were on.
Of course results vary, mine basically lead to the doctor saying I was a bit below normal and losing some weight (5-10kg) should help, but it didn't address the real issue which was that I take too long to get to sleep in the first place.
