Day 3 cpap. sleep study ahi 59. with resmed auto ahi 4.5 --22 clear airway events. wore mask 7.2 hours. implications? how long before i am not tired?

Under a month.: You certainly need mask with ahi of 59. Most people do not keep the mask on as long so congrats. Sounds like you are dialed in. You should be able to catch up on your sleep and feel better in the next month. Give it time. It takes awhile to work off your sleep debt.
