Right back to the fatigue I go. It's not like I'm surprised, though. I didn't have any leaks, but I sure had a lot of “frags.” Woke up at least a half a dozen times, once to pee. If I don't figure out a way to defragment my sleep, then I'm not gonna be much better off than I was before the CPAP. The only thing the CPAP will do is keep me from being so breathless.

I read that phone filters don't filter out blue light entirely. So I'm thinking of getting blue light blocking glasses that do a better job and that you can wear over your prescription glasses.

I didn't take anything at all before bed. Next time around, I'll take half a clonazepam and definitely magnesium. I researched numerous sources and they all say that melatonin, magnesium, valerian root, and chamomile are the best natural supplements to help with fragmented sleep. Melatonin has its drawbacks, though. That will usually help knock me out, but that can actually disrupt my sleep and cause nightmares along with next-day grogginess.

I can't take clonazepam all the time, so if none of these things help, then I don't know what to do but be forced to accept the fact that, just as I fear, I'm going to spend most of my life tired. It’s great that I got my AHI down, but dealing with fragmented sleep is tricky because it’s so much more complex.
