increasing pressure over time ?

[jasonuk75]

Hi everyone.
Has anyone found that after being on CPAP for a while the pressure on cpap needs to be increased?
why i ask been in cpap for 4 months, pressure is 4, ramping up to 14.5 after 20 mins, despite sleeping over 8 hours im waking up and cant keep awake, i increased pressure by 0.5 last night to 15, felt better waking up this am but within a hour sleepyness hit again,
my sleepyness could be due to other illnesses-- chronic pancreatitus, diabetes, or meds i take so it is a process of elimanation to find out wots up

Hi Jason,
I am the same, so if you do find out what causes it please let me know.

I would do anything to be able to stay up in the evening after about 7pm but at the moment I can't manage it.

I cpap is on 15 and I sleep well, sometimes I think too well. I can't manage more than about 10 hours awake in one stretch.
I reckon if there was a competition to see who could sleep the longest I would win easily.
