Cpap and getting better sleep: What's your experience?

I know someone whom has early onset Alzheimer's disease and she does very well! I experienced a Major Stroke and am honestly terrified of getting the disease; as one of my oldest cousins passed away from Alzheimer's disease in her eighties! I'm very aware of the changes in my mood lately and it's due to increased stress (Cortisol and my flight or fight responses to my environmental situations)!!!!! My Stroke was a bleed which affected my personality, thought processes, memory, Epilepsy, mood swings and everything else in my life!!!!!

@rachelanne I am terrified of getting Alzheimer's. After I had my first HE episode (confusion, irrational from cirrhosis) the doctor who at that time was my PCP called me on the phone and told me she thought I had Alzheimer's! A neurologist and two other doctors literally scoffed at that but it left an impression with me. That doctor, the PCP, was not my PCP much longer.
@johnhans That's scary, that interrupted sleep is possibly linked to Alzheimer's. My sleep is constantly interrupted, not by sleep apnea, but by frequent bathroom trips. I presume an interruption is an interruption, regardless of the cause.
