Will my CPAP make me feel more rested?

Not looking for medical advice.

So I went to my first sleep doctor appointment today. I made sure to tell him that my o2 drops to 80 when I'm asleep, heart rate drops to 40, I wake up choking/gasping for air, and feeling like I'm drowning and legitimately can't get air in almost every night. He has me scheduled for my sleep study in 3 days. He said I'll most likely end up with a CPAP machine.

MY QUESTION: Will my CPAP machine really make me wake up feeling more rested? I walk around completely exhausted all the time but I just push through it and honestly I thought it was related to my pots. Can this machine really change my life for the better? And what are all of your real world experiences?
