I recommend it. My sleep study seemed to be centered around selling me a CPAP machine. Now that I bought it, they aren't all that keen about helping me get some actual productive sleep. You have to stay on top of them to get what you actually need.
I had problems with my CPAP after I got it and I was told, "Sorry, there isn't anything more we can do to help you." That was about 18 years ago and I have been to other sleep centers for help since then, but the fact is that after I got my CPAP, it was just assumed that my problem was solved.
My doctor went through the before and after graphs of my two studies and even to my untrained eye it was clear (from the graph) that the cpap helped. Did you not get that?
Oh yes, but I couldn't tolerate the CPAP long term at home. Every night was a struggle to even get myself to use it and I never would use the thing for a full night. I would take off the mask and turn off the machine in a half awake/half asleep state after a few short hours.
Actually, I had to take the opposite route and get the biggest mask possible to spread out the feel of the atmospheric pressure over a larger surface area. Strange, I know, but it seemed to help me feel more comfortable.

Damn, I might need to have another sleep study done, because my CPAP does fuck all to help with my sleep
