I started on my cpap machine a week ago. I was able to sleep really well the very first night. Since then, I have been very tired. At times I feel like I could sleep for a week. Is this normal?

When I first went on CPAP I could not wait to go to bed at night. I craved sleep like I crave chocolate.
 It did get better, but it was a while before I got over wanting to sleep constantly. Try to take note of the gradual changes, like not falling asleep in the afternoons, things like that.
