How does sleep apnea make you feel in the morning?

Thank you for your responses but I was asking for what it feels like having sleep apnea and waking up in the morning and how you progress through the day? If you have to wake up, say at 6 am, was it painful or you could get out of bed or you could get out of bed but fell asleep three hours later, the day awful, etc.

Before my treatment, I dragged myself through the days.
My job performance was terrible. I couldn't concentrate, and I didn't know why. I drifted from job to job, rare moments of brilliance saving me from complete unemployment.
But to this day, more than 20 years later, there are former co-workers who won't talk to me, having written me off as a lazy loser. (If they only knew how hard I worked just to get through the day!)
I never fell asleep while driving, but I was close, many, many times. I had no energy at home, either. I just wanted to sleep, but I woke up exhausted every damned time.
Yet almost immediately after I got treatment, I created one of my most successful projects, for a very large defense contractor. USAF later called it an "Industry Best Practice". (Not bad for a "lazy loser", eh?)
