How correct you are!

And "circle" is also the perfect description of what OSA causes IMHO: a vicious circle! Think about it. Lack of sleep, proper sleep, regenerative sleep, causes almost ALL other facets of our lives to spiral endlessly into a circle of despair. We're too tired to truly live and enjoy our lives. We suffer from extreme lack of energy which others with our condition may interpret as laziness. We may have self-esteem issues because we may be misunderstood as to why we're so tired and seemingly lackluster. The more sleep we try to get (without treatment), the more tired we are. The added sleep we try to get does nothing to help us. The more we try to sleep the more hours we seemingly "waste" during the day causing us to look like lazy, good-for-nothing clods. And the circle goes on and on.

With treatment our circle does not end up being a meaningless endless road of despair. With treatment our circle becomes what it is meant to be: a complete life!

Of course, this is all my humble opinion.
