Yes, I do have nasal congestion, it is everyday. I have to spray my nostrils every night with normal saline. Then, when I wake up in the middle of the night I usually have to spray my nostrils again.

Could this be the reason, why I feel tired?

Maybe. Talk to your sleep doctor, and search this board for posts on nasal congestion.

I've recently discovered that foods are causing severe fatigue. Particularly sugar. My AHI is consistently below 1 . I do agree though that AHI isn't everything but try telling my MD that. It's so obvious so why don't they give a crap?
