: A overnight study which may be performed at home is recommended. The value should be re assessed. It may have been incorrect and more information is recommended. Maintain a regular sleep schedule, avoid nighttime electronics, caffeine and alcohol.

I think I have residual sleepiness from my CPAP machine. When I use my CPAP machine, I am sleepy once I wake up (where I have to take a nap after waking up to feel energy). I've had to rely on caffeine daily for energy. I don't know how to fix this?

Oxygen level frequently drops to the 70's % while sleeping. I don't like the cpap machine and i can't tolerate it. The cpap machine is in the closet.
