Your roommate uses one just for fun or what?
My uncle has used one since the 80's. He would stop breathing for minutes at a time sometimes before getting a CPAP. He also sleeps with his eyes wide open. I saw this once as a kid while he was hooked to the machine and it freaked me the f out.
Another friend of mine who drinks way too much snores like an animal and stops breathing while sleeping as well. The noise he makes when he finally gasps for air is pretty intense.
What has probably changed since the 80's is that people are in worse shape than ever. Heavy drinking and obesity are the main causes of sleep apnea as far as I know.
