RE: Third night on cpap - Alpaca - 07-11-2024
Stacey, it is waking me up right now once a night when I don't have to use the restroom, so the ramp point is well taken. I think to remove that right now I would have to put the minimum back down though, so I am not sure what is better. I don't like that it starts over when IT wakes me up, I may only be up 5-10 minutes then. But I am taking at least that twenty minutes to go to sleep when I go to bed. I am happy to report somehow I am keeping my mouth closed so mask try number three, the nasal "pillows" is something I can currently do. It has a much lower chance of leaking, the slot on the small nasal cushion was almost too wide and would move. I am still tired, my son says that lasts about two weeks while you come off adrenaline keeping you awake? All new to me. Six nights down now.

You may continue to feel tired much longer than 2 weeks. Every body is individual, but for me, I was stuporous for a month and only very gradually improved after that.
So, don’t expect quick results as far as tired feeling. However, you might just wake up one day with a peculiar sharpened feeling you may not have experienced for years or ever. It’s somehow just different. That’s your brain on a batch of restful sleep.
So, from past familiarity, you might think you’re rested after a week or two of XPAP, but wait for it…….

I have noticed I am finding words easier even when I am tired lol. Thanks for the info, I will expect it to get better slowly!
