You sure wouldn't hear that from me. Sure, I felt better when I woke up from my sleep study because I had a therapeutic level of pressure by the end of the night, but I didn't feel great.

It took a while to get used to using CPAP, and it took a steady time of consistently good sleep before I ever felt "great" in the morning. Healing takes time.
