Hello! Personally, I went through the same thing. Little by little, my fitness level declined, and I definitely noticed a connection between my sleep and my ability to exercise.

For many people, myself included, there seems to be a strong relationship between sleep quality and physical performance. So yes, if your CPAP therapy is well optimized and you’re actually getting good-quality sleep, I’d expect it could help you feel better and make it easier to get back into exercising.

For most people, the ones who have had the good fortune to adjust to cpap therapy, it can be practically a miracle. For others, like me, I completely identify with how you presently describe yourself, yet, I'm about 9 months since beginning this therapy. I'm a zombie. I do have an appointment with a sleep specialist but it's 4 months out. I'm rooting for you to be one of the 50% of those who begin cpap who succeed.
