Oh So many questions but I will try and keep it to one (and thank you for doing this).
I have had issues with feeling rested as long as I can remember. I live PST but work CST so I am up every day by 5/530 am. I have tried going to be anywhere between 7 and 930 PM but it does not help. I switched to a light alarm clock, blackout curtains, bed upgrade all of which have helped a bit but I just cant seem to feel rested.
I recently got tested and diagnosed with moderate Sleep Apnea 18.5 (came here from /r/SleepApnea actually) and I have been doing CPAP therapy for a couple months now but still no improvement (other than sleeping through the night). My Fitbit does a ruff tracking and I never seem to get into deep sleep.
No matter what I try 530 just has me a zombie all day. If I sleep just a couple hours later I feel so much better (even if I goto bed that much later so it is the same hours of sleep). I am hoping you might have some tips to finally get me over this last threshold of poor sleep so I am waking up refreshed!
Do you have any tips or suggestions to help me get quality sleep that I havent already tried?
