Apart from the obvious health reasons to have your sleep apnea treated
ASAP, you should also know that caffeine is one of the worst possible
ways to regularly stay awake, especially at work.

As a stop-gap measure once in a while it's not too bad, such as
needing to drive home from a party, but relying on it for your working
life is terrible. Caffeine splinters concentration, and not having
slept enough in the first place will leave you mentally less capable
no matter how awake you feel.

*Significantly* less capable.
