i sleep on my back can this be the cause of this? my ahi averages approximately 5.0 per night . I'm not seeing any major changes im about 2 months in and i still have a lot of stress anxiety and depression and more stuff when will this all go away. there is no reason for me to be depressed other then i don't sleep well and can't function because of it. my whole life is on hold i do nothing all day because i cant hold a job. im waiting till i feel better to move on with my life, so i just hide in my bedroom at home. i had one good day but that went away the next day when i woke up i felt like my miserable self again. I dont want to wait anymore to get better i want to feel at least a little better so im not miserable all day.

Hit-and-miss.
At best, they only show what pressure you need on
one night in the strange environment of a sleep lab.

10 per hour, or 10 per night?
being vague with questions or comments doesn't get good answers.

This is mostly me as well. I was mostly fine before I started on CPAP except extremely tired and could barely drive a car 15 minutes. I'm hoping I get the therapy working good and it will get better.
