Does the tiredness go away later in the day with sleep apnea?

Does the tiredness as a result of sleep apnea go away later in the day? So you will feel tired in the morning and afternoon but you can feel better in the evening, peculiarly if you had a nap in the day?

Or does the tiredness state stay steady state all the time?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Sleep Health Support Group.

When I had undiagnosed sleep apnea, I was exhausted all the time.
After I started using a CPAP, that went away. It was like getting my life back.
Are you getting treated for your apnea?

Like Scott, after I got used to my CPAP and my AHI events were at my 4.0 target or less, it was like getting my normal life back. If I have a bad night (not very often), it's a different story and I do feel tired during the day.
