What is more important: treating sleep apnea or insomnia?

Yes, I think we’re discussing the same machine. They’re all cpaps; apap is just an alternate mode a cpap can be set to. ResMed is the most common brand I think.
I use a ResMed airsense 10; I briefly used ResMed Aircurve ST, the bilevel that for me was such a disaster.
Is that what you have?
Don’t know what to say about your sleep position; I’ve been told position can be a big part of it.
I know there are devices to keep back sleepers on their side, but face down I don’t know.

I have ResMed, Airsense 11. The nose cone seems to be a good fit for me as the head gear holds it in place. But some nights I look at the device and say, "Nah! I just want to sleep". As I have written in other posts I am a very good sleeper. Never had the insomnia the others talk about. Sometime I wake in the middle of the night with "monkey brain", but that is cured with doing a crossword puzzle and I am off to sleep.

I just finished a bout with bronchitis and a cold. Are we supposed to use the CPAP when we are in this condition? I did, but could tolerate the machine for shorter times.

Thanks for your response
