If you are asking yourself why am I more tired after using CPAP treatment, there are a few possible reasons for this. The key to getting over this hurdle is patience and consistency. Oh, and a positive attitude. As already mentioned, a CPAP machine is something new to your sleep routine.
It isn’t quite the same as adding new sheets or a new pillow. A CPAP machine requires that you wear a mask and the machine will be sending air into your mouth and nose. This is going to feel very different from what you are used to on a normal night of sleeping in bed.
One study conducted on the subject indicates that it can take up to three weeks for daytime sleepiness to subside, although some first-time CPAP users claim it took months to get over the initial lack of sleep. So, when we say CPAP therapy takes time to adjust to, it won’t be just a few days. But don’t worry, there are methods and tools to help.
