9 weeks on CPAP - sleepiness question

Sleepopotamus · Post by **Sleepopotamus** » Fri Mar 25, 2005 9:47 pm

Although I believe I am experiencing deeper sleep at night, I am sleepy during the day. The sleepiness seems to be related to using the cpap. Last night I had a pretty full night of sleep, but this afternoon, I took a two-hour nap after work. I have never been a daytime napper. I am wondering if my body is just getting used to sleeping normally. Is this to be expected and, if so, will the sleepiness lift at some point? The only improvement I have noticed so far is an increase in stamina.

Thanks for your input.

It sounds like your body is jut trying to get used to getting good sleep. I've been on my cpap since Januaury and have noticed that I'm not as tired as I was before but I still take an occasional nap. It's just taking some time for my body to adjust to the change after several years of not getting good sleep.
