If you had asked me pre-treatment, I would have said sleepiness. I have been surprised to find out that I am clearly more alert now, but still somewhat sleepy. I would say that my problem was two-fold: quality and quantity. The CPAP has definitely improved the quality of my sleep, but I still don't ...
