About 10 years ago, I started feeling really tired in mid-afternoon. It was a real problem when on-site at a client location. Then I was diagnosed with sleep apnea about 7 years ago. And I was told that a CPAP would fix my problem. No joy for 6 years, still felt tired. Last January I changed from a Pulmonologist to a Neurologist who changed my diagnosis to Hypersomnia with Sleep Apnea. He added a prescription for Modafinil to help me stay awake. Hated the stuff, really messed with my sleep. On a follow-up visit he bumped my CPAP pressure to make sure the airways stayed open. My AHI numbers dropped significantly and after a week or so of good sleep, the tiredness went away.

I use a nose only, Pico mask. It was irritating the nostril openings after a few months of use so I added a RemZzzs liner. Much more comfortable and I think I get a better seal with it.
