It's mostly sleep deprivation though. I graduated with a 3.7 from a top 5 school in CS after I was treated. My apnea was SEVERE before treatment: 30 apneas per hour.
I doubt I had any brain damage, though my study only recorded a min SpO2 of 90%.
Once or twice. Usually you don't consciously wake up in a way that allows you to remember it whenever you have an apnea, you just go into a lighter and less restorative sleep stage.

Before CPAP, How many times do you actually remember waking up in middle of night?
Once or twice. Usually you don't consciously wake up in a way that allows you to remember it whenever you have an apnea, you just go into a lighter and less restorative sleep stage.
From someone else with apnea: absolutely none at all.
I didn't have to use CPAP to treat it though, so other people's experiences might be different.
How did you treat it?
I use a mouth guard, it turned out to be sufficient.
