Athena, I'm with you on your assessment of CPAP. I'm happy for those who have had immediate success, but I'm not one of them.
Why do some people (like me), who seem to be tolerate the mask fine and record 9- and 10-hour sleep times, still awake dead-tired, irritable and depressed. On my 30th day of compliance last night, I took the mask off and slept 4-5 hours without. Even though 4-5 hours is too little for me, I still felt better than with the mask.
I have a ResMed AirSense 10 with nose pillows and a pressure of 8. The ResMed basic data keeper gives me gold stars and says everything is great. I don't feel great.
In the course of these first 30 days, I have taken three 1 1/2-2 hour afternoon naps without the CPAP and awoke refreshed.
What exactly is my mind or body supposed to do to make this work?
