4 weeks in and I’m constantly sleepy
I know the cpap is working. My physical symptoms are gone. They were horrible. I feel so much more physically energetic now too.
I’m so sleepy though. It’s not the same sleepiness as before treatment. It was a brutal, harrowing exhaustion, but now it’s like I just wanna sink into a recliner and enjoy the newfound peace. But mentally I really struggle to do anything requiring any brainpower. I feel dull, unfocused, relaxed, and inescapably sleepy. I can’t nap during the day though, oddly.
The last two nights were the first nights I had really well cycled sleeps tracked by my Apple Watch with minimal interruptions. REM and deep sleep were in normal time percentages. AHI events are basically gone. Is it normal to just feel so completely unfocused and sleepy? I want to be mentally awake and energetic, not just physically. Any tips to just feel awake? What should I expect?
