Yes: There is a good chance that you will feel more awake and alert, and if you have been feeling depressed that could improve as well. In many people it occurs immediately, but in some it can take up to two months to reach maximum benefit if you are compliant with your cpap. Best wishes.

Polysomnography-PSG: Is a sleep study test that used to diagnose sleep disorders. Polysomnography will monitors your sleep stages and cycles to identify if or when your sleep patterns are disrupted and why. The sleep specialist will evaluate the result and prescribe proper treatment. And you'll feel better; better than before.
