also taking vitd lately, unsure if I see a difference but still take it.
I still feel tired with cpap, but most of the brain fog is gone when I wear it most night. When I am unable to wear it alot (pain or kids), I sometimes wake up with terrible brain fog /headache that lasts most of the day until late PM.
Low Vit D3 is strongly linked to low Testosterone and subsequent brain fog with sufferers of Vit d3 having an increase of up to 30% in testosterone when D3 level is corrected.

The things I know that cause me brain fog (besides untreated sleep apnea) are:
- gluten
- wi-fi
- fluorescent lights
- bluetooth
- hotspots (like people using their cell phone to tether their laptop)
- alcohol consumption
- lack of sleep
- too much sugar, not enough protein
- not enough water
I drink only about one liter (4 cups) a day, no coffee or alcohol. I never seem very thirsty. Maybe that could be a factor in my brain fog, and try to force myself to drink about double that and see if there is improvement. And if that doesn't do it try to eliminate gluten, I haven't tried that yet. Thanks.

Deyhdration will effect your entire body. I did some high desert training back in the younger days and with altitude and water conservation I was sick all over. Sick. 4 cups of water a day is not nearly enough fluid, especially if that's all the fluids you consume. Most recommendations are at least 6-8 glasses of water a day. Even if water doesn't fix the brain fog you experience, it will help elsewhere in your body

I've heard a good target starting point for liquid intake per day is 64 oz. Some may need more or less than that starting point.
