I lost my deep sleep since I started cpap and unfortunately I am one of the few that this happens to.

My oxygen never goes below 90% and I have not felt well for the last three years so I would say yes to another test but record with a video camera so you would see and know and have proof that he has apnea.

Provigil used to work for me and now it does not as I need to get the sleep I need and it appears doubtful to me that any drug will help during the day as my brain does not get the rest it needs. I had lots of deep sleep on my first study and started using cpap it disappeared and a very reliable sleep doctor told me it is not possible for it to disappear that quickly due to age.

Unfortunately also I have had two surgeries and the problem has not gotten better yet.
