The biggest improvement for me by far was a CPAP.

Same! If you have poor sleep, it couldn’t hurt to see a sleep doc.

Not OP but given the context, yeah. CPAP machines help you breathe better and not wake up hundreds of times due to respiratory blockage. It’s almost a necessity for fat or muscular people to sleep really well.

I'm 145 lbs and use a CPAP because my nasal turbinates majorly swell up during the night or when I lay down. I'm urging my insurance company to cover the ClariFix procedure to hopefully fix my issue.

yes, it helps with sleep apnea that many older people eventually develop. You can sleep apnea it even if you don't snore.

getting a cpap can be a life changer.
