Boy I've been on CPAP for a couple of weeks now but I feel exactly the same...still tired. My eyes dry out at night, not sure if that's affecting REM??

Good to hear that at least half so far felt better pretty immediately. Unfortuneatly I am sick as I'm first starting out so I can't tell if I'm one of the lucky ones. Some people say your body has to "repair" itself over a long term process also...I'm wondering what this means?

My repiratory therapist told me that with an APAP theere is more chance of apnea or hypopnea at night, because the machine will not always sense in time when an apnea is occuring. Does this make sense, or am I understanding how an APAP works?

How long did it take everyone to recover and get up to a good energy level after using CPAP?
