How many hours of sleep are you getting?
Are those hours fragmented with very many wake ups?
What medications do you take?

I may have to RISE but I refuse to SHINE.

If you want to try the Eclipse mask and want a special promo code to get a little off the price...send me a private message.

Pugsy knows her stuff and def follow along.

I personally use sleephq.com and upload the data there. It is very easy to use if you have an SD card and reader on your old computer. I had to get an SD card reader which is cheap and plugs into a USB port (due to a failure of the port on the home computer, not because it is old.) Here is a short instructional video. https://youtu.be/YJojSMC4zQc

And this is just MHO but under 5 would still leave me feeling like crap. I think if you are able to upload the data and pugsy and some of the others could see it would go a long way to helping you get those numbers down even further. Its been around 2 months for me and I am finally getting to where I expect/hope to have ahi of 1 or less every night and am not so sleepy during the day at <1.

Are you actually extremely sleepy during the day and can nap easily
or are you having lots of fatigue or tiredness and calling that sleepiness?
