you could, but i would not recommend it. Sleep apnea comes in many forms. CSA, OSA, maybe you need a bipap and not a cpap. Sleep apnea machines tell you how many events youve had during the night but you could be given a false positive if you try to self diagnose with one of these.

I should also add that for most people it takes months to acclimate to even keeping the damn thing on overnight.

Do you wake up with headaches?

No, I don't wakeup with headaches. But, I easily need at least 10h of sleep a day to feel normal. If I ever sleep less than 10h, my whole day is ruined.

I don't know if this a good enough reason to doubt that I have sleep apnea.

I would get a sleep study performed then. I know its expensive but fortunately once you have the prescription you're set to get a calibrated machine for you.
