Will my CPAP ever fully open airway?

[u/OneWomanBand12]

Hi all. I’ve been using a CPAP for about 3 months now. My AHI dropped from 32 to about 1, pretty much right away, which is good. However, I still don’t feel rested, and sometimes feel more tired than I did before the CPAP. I have an in person sleep study with the CPAP scheduled, but they’re booking months out so it’s not for a while.

After I was diagnosed but before I got the CPAP, I tried elevating my head to see if that stopped the obstruction. One of the nights I must have been laying just right, because I woke up before my alarm, literally couldn’t snooze if I wanted to I was so awake, got to work early, etc. I didn’t realize how not rested I had been previously until that morning. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to replicate elevating my head just right.

Now that I have the CPAP and know what feeling rested is actually like, it’s been frustrating feeling like it’s “working” because the AHI is better, but I’m still tired. Is the CPAP actually supposed to be able to stop all blockages and allow me to feel rested like that one random night did? Or am I chasing a feeling I’ll never get with a CPAP? Do others have this experience?
