What is more important: treating sleep apnea or insomnia?

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

Good question. For me it depends on whether the rush of air makes me cough more or not. I’ve had drs tell me the concern is not what apnea does to you in a few nights, but what it does over time.
I also wonder if the air pressure would push mucus further into your tubes or not. That’s one to ask your dr. Hope you’re feeling better now.
BTW, the Resmed airsense 11 is the next generation after the 10.
