Require less sleep using cpap

[Tatooed Lady]

Well, I must be different.
Before CPAP, I was getting up after maybe 4 or 5 hours in bed (I did not say 'sleep') I was avoiding the headaches.
--and going through HELL.
Now, I curl up with a good hose 7 hours, 8, or when I'm sick--10. It really works when you're really sleeping;
and when I'm up--I'm up as long as I need to be.
No "zonking out" unexpectedly.--or when it's embarrassing. . .

Similar thing here...Now that I REST when I sleep, I've been known to pull 12 hours of horizontal time before my bladder says it's time to get up. Compared to MAYBE 2-3 hours between potty trips, this is AWESOME. And I wouldn't give up xPAP now, even if the doc said I breathe well enough.

I have to agree with many others with good therapy, I have increased my hours of sleep from 4-5. I use to have a difficult time going to sleep and would watch the clock for hours and would not go to sleep. So I would find myself staying up till 2-3 AM and was exhausted enough to fall asleep. Only problem was that I would only sleep 4-5 hrs. On Cpap I fall asleep quickly and last night I slept 10 hrs. Most nights it is 8hrs at least unless I have to set the alarm for some reason.
So let us help you, to see if there is a problem with therapy, that can possibly make things better.
