IOW, it's all in the mind. If your history is one of involvement, of self-education, of self-reliance, and problem-solving, you'll figure out how to succeed with pretty much any suitable therapy. Just my opinion, but I gotta agree with Sleeprider.
"Will I do PAP or will I not do PAP? Is that a choice at all, or just an orientation to a problem?"
I believe that it is a choice.
Many people have chosen 'no to PAP'. It doesn't matter what you or I think about 'their'choice.
"For me, if there's an engineered solution, whether chemical or mechanical, to my health problem, I'm going to educate myself and go all-in."
For me, I will educate myself on all solutions that pertain to my health issue and chose the one I feel is the best for me.
There are more treatments for Sleap Apnea than PAP therapy.
Limiting the discussion to PAP is not helpful. Just my opinion.
