Persistent morning fatigue

[menlodoc]

I have been 100% compliant with CPAP for three months. My machine shows AHI of 1-2 most nights. I still have persistent fatigue in the AM despite 9-10 hours of sleep. However I am not sleepy during the day. Are there others with this same problem? Is waiting longer the solution? Have other people found other solutions?

How many times during those 9 or 10 hours do you think you wake up?
Do you take any medications of any kind....if so what?
Any other health conditions going on?

Hi,
it took me over 3 months to come out of my fog, I even went to the doctor to get some narcolepsy medication but decided not to take it because of the side effects. I was sleeping good sleep 8 to 8 1/2 hours a night. then one day I just felt better. for a few months after that I was on the machine 9+ hours of sleep. Now I am doing 8 months compliant and I am doing 7-8 hours and feeling good. All I know is that I never thought I had SA, never had any symptoms. Now I am feeling better, more energy and I am not drinking 3 bottles of water a night.

Been on 2 months myself, my pressure currently is only 6cm, but the first few days were awesome. now i am worse than i was before starting. but I see my sleep doctor Monday and my supplier for a refit as well as we found I was given the incorrect machine.. Stick with it.. Ive been 100 percent complaint as well. mask goes on at 11pm and wont come off till i wake up in the morning no matter when I actually fall asleep.

Almost 10 month with AHI = 0.5. Except for sleepiness (a bit reduced) then all my problems remain (fatigue, short term memory, thinking speed, decision making, concentration).

Now I am being diagnosed with depression. Depression, if I really have, might give me much of the above mentioned issues http://www.webmd.com/depression/guide/d ... depression.

One Greek study shows that an OSA patient will more likely feel sleepy after CPAP if he/she has been having depression.
