Something is strange. Before CPAP I used to sleep like 7 hours. But now, after a few months with CPAP I wake up 4 in the morning, full of energy, I just cant fall back to sleep again. Have to go up! After 5-6 hours of sleep. Last night I slept 4,5 hours. And I dont feel sleepy during the day. Anyone else with the same problem?

Cant sleep 8 hours
75 apneas per hour in first sleep study february 2008
That actually sounds like a good thing.
I think I'm still paying back my sleep debt. I do get up after only 4-5 hrs but have either go back or take a nap later. Pay me now - or pay me later, ha.
I say, good for you!!

I have no doubt, how I sleep affects every waking moment.
I am making progress-NOW I remember that I can't remember
If this isn’t rocket science why are there so many spaceshots?

You are probably getting more real sleep in that 4 or 5 hrs than you ever got in the 7 or so hrs before cpap. Give it more time. You should see that you start to sleep a bit longer as you become more used to the machine and mask. I rarely sleep more than 6 or 7 hrs now and I used to need about 9 hrs. As long as you're feeling good I wouldn't worry too much.

Lots of people go through that. I think it took me about 2 months for my body to gradually readjust back to my normal 7 to 8 hour sleep nights.
President-pretender, J. Biden, said "the DNC has built the largest voter fraud organization in US history". Too bad they didn’t build the smartest voter fraud organization and got caught.

I sort of cycle up and down. I think it's often stress-related. When I'm feeling stressed, for some reason I wake up earlier and earlier. Right when I NEED more sleep.
Then I'll sleep just fine - 7-8 hours for awhile - then cycle back into waking up early.
I'm currently combatting early arousal with a cocktail of 1 Benadryl, 2 Tylenols, and 1 Flexeril (I have back pain issues) before bed. It's working VERY NICELY. But it's just a temporary thing. I think I'll NOT use it tonight, and see how it goes.
Good luck!
