Why didn't the CPAP work for you? Because that SERIOUSLY helps with the exhaustion by actually reducing the number of apneas throughout the night. Were you not compliant? Did you try other mask options than just whatever standard one they may have given you? It's pretty much the best actual solution out there.
Those breathing nasal strips can help some, and you may want to try a decongestant as well … like a claritinD or nasonex or the like and see if it helps clear up the airway any… that's sometimes an additional culprit… esp if you've developed minor allergies you don't realize. Sleeping propped up a bit, like on a wedge pillow under your upper body, can also help.
Other things to look into. How are your vitamin levels? B-complex, D… your iron levels… ?
