Is Sleep Apnea An Only Reason Of Sleeplessness?

Hello, is their anything besides sleep apnea that could be causing me not to get the much needed sleep i so desperately need? I ve been using the CPap for about 6 years now. My pressure has been change 4 times but i still wake up super tired. In my good days i actually wake up rested, but after a couple of hours of being awake my energy levels are drained and i get really tired but can go to sleep. Im like a zombie not wanting to do anything but try to sleep. Any advise is greatly appreciated.

Hi.

A revision of your pressure will be required but at the same time I would recommend couseling with a psychiatrist to help with any issues related to depression, anxiety and insomnia. I am sure addressing any such issues if present will also help greatly to treat your sleep apnea.

Best wishes.
