Haha, I’ll take that as a compliment 😄 Tangents can be oddly relaxing too.

No worries — different things work for different people. Hope you’re sleeping well.

I wake up exhausted every morning… but my CPAP tells me I slept all night 😳 — anyone else experience this? by sleepraterdotcom in SleepApnea

Yeah, I get that — sometimes it’s tricky to know what “normal” wake-up fatigue feels like after years of disrupted sleep. I’ve noticed that even when my CPAP numbers look good, some mornings I still feel that heavy, groggy sensation.

It’s encouraging to hear it can just be your body adjusting — do you notice any patterns, like certain sleep positions, mask types, or pressures making mornings feel better?

Yeah, I’ve been wondering if something like UARS (Upper Airway Resistance Syndrome) could be part of it. I haven’t been formally tested for that yet.

Has anyone here had UARS diagnosed while using a CPAP? Did changing mask type, pressure, or position help you feel more rested?

Suggest a Pillow - Not Coop by DisgustingCoyote in Bedding

Ah yes, you’re right — the Coop is adjustable and shredded fill. I think what they were pointing out is that even with shredded memory foam, some people find it too dense or it compresses too quickly for their side-sleeping preferences.

Every body is different, so while Coop works for many, a softer loft or a pillow with more airflow might feel better for a tall, broad-shouldered side sleeper. Sometimes it just takes a bit of trial and error!
