Is sleeping 5-6 hours per night normal with cpap therapy?
I have been diagnosed with sleep apnea and have been using a cpap machine for about a year and a half. Since that time I have not slept longer than 7 hours a night and most nights I only sleep 5 or 6 hours. Is this normal for people most people using this type of therapy?

It depends a lot on your age and weight, as well as your fitness.
If you are Joe average, and about 30 years old, I do believe 6 hours sleep is adequate, if you are really active, maybe not enough, if your weight is over nominal guidelines, it should be ok.
The important thing to consider is how much REAL sleep did you get prior to using the cpap, and how much are you getting now.
