Same story, only found out much later in life (around 40).

The thing is, now I can easily get by on 4 to 6 hours of sleep, and unless I'm truly physically and mentally exhausted I'm not even able to sleep for 8 hours because I'll be wide awake after 6 hours, tops.

I have no idea whether that is my natural sleep pattern, or just because I've spent decades "training" myself to get by on less sleep because of the apnea.

35, and I get my preliminary overnight monitor on Monday. I usually sleep 6 hours, waking up every 90 minutes to check on the world, but I find it really hard to get out of bed.

I recorded myself using snorecycle. Yeah, so, my snoring gets progressively louder, until I stop breathing and wake myself up. :( It's only taken my wife three years to convince me.
