You'll need a period of adjustment to get used to it but you should feel quite a bit better very quickly

As for your sleep/wake cycles, that might not be amenable to wearing a CPAP, it could easily be severe delayed sleep phase disorder. I have that one, too. If I am forced out of bed before noon, I might be vertical, clothed, and with words coming out of my mouth, but I am NOT awake. This has been a lifelong pattern in my case, so I've had to hustle for evening and night jobs. Day jobs were torture.

Moving to China would only help for a few weeks. Then I'd adjust to their day/night and be back at square one.
