The last two nights I have not been sleepy until late and then woke during the night and had trouble getting back to sleep. I got about 3-4 hours each of the last 2 nights. Prior to that, I had been doing very well with sleep, getting 6 or more hours on APAP every night for a few weeks. Now comes the odd part - yesterday and today were pretty good. I was alert and attentive and had two of the most productive days of work I have had in a long time. I have been a little more patient with people; rational, and understanding. What's going on? Is good sleep catching up with me and overflowing a little bit?
Anyone else experience this?
bad nights, good days - this is very odd

With me it's been almost like catch-22.
I am typically more alert during the day, and am often up late at night, yet that allows me only a few hours of sleep because I have to get up so early for work. I really need to devote more time to sleep, even if I'm not so sleepy. I need to strike a good balance.
Ever since starting the treatment, I've felt I've been lifted out of that brain fog that others have also described. I see people differently, I'm more animated and people seem to respond positively to that. I smile more, laugh more (and get in trouble at work more for too much laughing and talking). I'm more aware of things, of people. It's been great. The down side to this is I've also felt out of control of my emotions, as if they've begun flowing after literally years of being emotionless during my brain fog. These floods of emotion are shocking to me, and I find myself far too emotional. Hopefully, a better balance will bounce back into my life.
