I’ve read that we accumulate sleep debt from untreated apnea. I think I’ve had it about 5 years. Started CPAP 9 weeks ago. Already no headaches in the morning but still have fatigue. (Doctors are checking other possible causes as well right now).

I also just feel tired if I don’t sleep enough hours, before it was borderline-sick. So I guess I’m starting to “catch up” but I wonder how long it takes and how I’ll know if I’m catching up on sleep debt.

I use estrogen (50mcg) patches, changing twice a week. I’ve been doing 3 days then 4 days. does overlapping the patches by a day help at all? Or should instead be more exact and do every 3.5 days? or both?
