I don't know whatelse that I could look into or try, but I have an office job that I don't want to be seen dozing off during work. one other information I might add is that sometimes it appears the sleep come after I had eaten something. I don't know the relationship with that lunch time food
Going to make an off the wall suggestion, at least by Western standards.

Find a place away from work and try a "power nap".

It is not unusual for a mid day nap in other cultures.

The wrinkle in "power naps" is to wake just as you fall asleep.

Notable people who also took power naps: Einstein, Aristotle, and Salvador Dali.

Anything that makes a racket when you lose your grip works. Dali used keys and a plate as an alarm.

If the "power nap" doesn't work for you, try an actual 10 - 20 minute nap. Why so short? You want to avoid "sleep inertia"

Thank you for that suggestion. I had done a power 5 minute nap in the past, but the problem is if I get tortured by sleep before afternoon and right before my lengthy meetings. I would try it again.

Hi!

Are you using the new n30i, with Quiet Air? (It has a tiny filter in the front.)

If yes, try to switch mask for a week. I read in many forums and om FB that there are som people, including me, have gotten worse in their SA symptoms when using this. Probably due to your expiration air not being fully extracted which means you don't get enough oxygen. As with apnéas.

I have been so tired this week that I haven't been functioning at all, been bed bound thinking I'm coming down with the flu. But researched and found info about this regarding n30i, switched mask and was back to normal the following day. Also written to Resmed about this. If changing maske also helps you, please do write ro Resmed about this, so that they'll have to react and make necessary changes.

Good luck
