I was just recently diagnosed with mild sleep apnea. Like you, I didn't want to wear a CPAP. It was a shock to learn that I do indeed stop breathing during the night while asleep. As far as the CPAP machine worsening or improving my incontinence, I'm afraid I can't be of much use to you. My incontinence is STRICTLY daytime. I'm completely dry at night. I know, you're jealous. Go figure. Of course the fact that I can have an all out FLOOD just after I wake up, and sometimes not make it to the toilet more than "makes up" for not wetting overnight.
Like others here, wearing the CPAP was a game changer. I was pounding down caffine at work just to stay awake, and telling my boss that i needed breaks to just slpash some water on my face to stay awake. All of that is behind me. Insominac nights are rare now.
Good luck with everything. CPAP compliance can be hard, but its worth it.
