From what you describe, I would bet you need a pressure change. It sounds as if you are having apneas during the night resulting in fatigue and multiple nighttime bathroom breaks. As D.H. said, check particularly for leaks. If everything seems tight, it's time for retitration. It isn't unusual to need a pressure change within the first few months.
