Hi!
Got a CPAP about 5yrs ago, but only used it a short while because I started having apnea events as I was drifting off to sleep, and there were lots of life events that took away the mental energy I'd need to follow up and fix the issue. Pan forward to about 3 months ago. I had two sleep studies done (one without CPAP, one with) and got an updated prescription. Have been using the updated CPAP for 3ish weeks.
New problem: Still getting used to the CPAP, but falling asleep relatively quickly... The problem is that when using the CPAP now, I wake up many many times in the night. I can get back to sleep relatively quickly, but I spend a significant amount of time awake in the night, and suspect I don't get any deep sleep. I certainly don't get a restful sleep.
The good news is that CPAP has improved my migraine frequency, and has had other health benefits. It's unfortunate that this comes at the cost of being drowsy much of the day, and nodding off during meetings at work.
Please offer any advice/suggestions/commiseration you can. I don't want to have to choose between having lousy sleep or having frequent (15/mo average) migraines.
Thanks!
