Sleep Pea---are you sure the new mask is causing the tiredness? Could you go back to using the old mask for a couple/few days to verify that the root cause is, indeed, the new mask?

Also, do you think there's an air leak anywhere in your system? Check the seal of your new mask's cushion, your air hose, etc. A leak could be reducing your delivered air pressure. Carefully compare your old mask with the new to see if there is any minute difference in how each piece of hardware fits.
