Try to get the in lab study if you can. It turns out that one of my problems were plmd (periodic limb movement disorder). My home study showed that my sleep was fine. However at the lab I found out I had really mild apnea sleeping on my back. So I know that my sinusitis issues were contributing to some of my problems.
The major issue were my legs because they kept moving and waking me up. I ended up with a cpap and meds. Initially ropinirole, then pramipexole. Unfortunately, I’m still finding a right combination because these meds along with some others I take ends up making me groggy the next day. So it’s been a catch-22.
If the cost will be too much. There are some ways you can go about figuring it out. If you want to rule out plmd. You can tape yourself while you sleep. If you see yourself shaking/moving a lot then you can try out meds for it. They are pretty cheap to get generic. ropinirole, pramipexole are the most common. Gabapentin is another.
Ideally getting your insurance to cover a cpap machine would be the best because you’re suppose to replace the filter paper once a month, and the mask + tubing every 6 months.
If you want to just get a machine yourself to try. Keep in mind it takes some getting used to and finding a good mask. You should get a auto-pap (auto adjusting). I have the resmed airsense10. I was able to find the practitioner software online. So I have full access to all the data, and make my own adjustments. You don’t really need to make any changes because by default it’ll adjust based off of your reading. However there are some other things you change to make it more optimal (epr, humidity, etc).
