But it seems like it is one of those things now that pretty much EVERYONE seems to have. Anyone who snores, or wakes up in the middle of the night, or is tired during the day, is told they might have it. And I don't know anyone who has done a sleep study who has been told they don't have it. Makes me wonder if it is being overhyped a little.

Science and data doesn't lie.
Why would a person have electrodes placed all over their body, try to sleep in a strange room while some stranger watches them sleep if there is not some issue that has been going on for years until their wife or health causes them to go get a sleep study?
I'm sure that people want to sleep with this tight mask on their face. Wind blowing up their nose just for the free CPAP machine.
In my experience doing sleep studies about 10% didn't need a CPAP machine. Of that number it was about 90% orthopena. They needed to sleep in a certain position and they would be fine.
