Average Guy with Sleep Apnea
I felt this way until I got a CPAP. Life changing.
I’m one of the few where the cpap, while fixing my apnea, does absolutely dick for my feeling rested.
Others in this thread are saying what helped for them was having a fixed sleep schedule, including the weekends. So no sleeping in, but apparently it can help feeling more rested.
Yeah, I’ve tried everything, including medication (stimulants), and it’s what it is. 🤷♂️
Hmm, I see. That sucks 😅🫤
There are dozens of us.
I couldn’t fuckin’ wear the Bane mask. It cut into my ability to sleep so much (and I don’t sleep on my back, period.) that I couldn’t function at work for the whole semester I was required tonwear it by insurance. I mailed it back to the company. They were like “yeah, no problem. About half of patients can do it.”
I sleep right on my face with the mask no problem.
It threw “pressure fit” errors or some shit, and counted against my required wear time when I tried that. I’d just lie awake until the timer went off that I was allowed to remove it, then flip over and go right to sleep. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Oh I get it. It’s have anxiety attacks every time I put it on, and I’ve been using it for the better art of a decade now. FWIW, I’ve started listening to guided meditation when I go to bed and the breathing exercises help a lot.
But, either way, I hope you find your solution. It sucks being exhausted all the time.
That’s the funny thing. I’m sleeping fine. It was just decided that i’m “supposed” to be sleeping on my back, but I can’t, so a whole series of events wrecked my sleep for a few months. Lol
So recently Ive been trying to go to bed and wake up at the same time every day. Including weekends which blows since no sleeping in but it’s the closest I’ve felt to being rested in a long time
Yes. As someone who has felt tired since middle school, this makes a huge difference. I love sleeping in so it’s hard to keep to it but it’s worth it.
Get a sleep study. CPAP was an absolute game changer for actually feeling rested in the morning. It makes me sad about how much more I could have accomplished had I known I had sleep apnea earlier in life.
for me it’s somehow magically only about when i wake up, if i’m not able to wake up around 11:00 the whole day is basically wasted, but it doesn’t matter if i go to bed at 22:00 or 02:00, it’s still 11:00
Solution: don’t sleep
Ironically I felt better at the end after (mostly - nap) staying up for 45 hours. Felt like shit after waking up after that though.
Go get a sleep study friend.
