What does the process look like for getting approved for a CPAP machine? I've been experiencing chronic sleepiness during the day for the last 4 months now, I had a sleep study in May that showed mild sleep apnea. I keep calling and calling the homecare center here where I live, they always tell me to check back in one more week. It's been two months!! Another question: what if the CPAP doesn't fix the problem? What's my next move?

Based on the provided context, the process for getting approved for a CPAP machine often involves undergoing a sleep study. However, it's not clear how long this process typically takes or what steps are involved after the sleep study. If the CPAP doesn't fix the problem, one user mentioned being diagnosed with idiopathic hypersomnia after their sleep issues persisted despite using a CPAP, and they were then prescribed Ritalin to help them stay awake.
