Do they force air in? Wouldn’t that be super uncomfortable

I just got a CPAP and the other nice thing is that it delivers warmed, perfectly humidified air which also helps keep the nasal passages clear. When I sleep without it, I wake up several times rom very mild apnea. I have come to realize I hadn’t had a good night’s sleep in years before the CPAP because every time my airway relaxes and collapses, I wake up a little. When I wear it, I sleep soundly. So amazing.
