It's a common misconception that boredom like this will make you sleepy. In most cases, boredom makes you restless—unless you're sleep deprived.

A single night's sleep won't have a far-reaching effect on you if you're sleep depreived. Do some research on "sleep debt," but be sure to look at legitimate resources, as there is much misinformation out there about it.

Get more sleep. You said you had sleep apnea. What's the status on that? Are you sure it's not related?
How much sleep do you get nightly on average? Most people need at least 7 to 8 or so hours per night (a few of us need as much as 9 or 10). Very few can go below 7 and not have some kind of status that can be considered sleep deprivation. Many people now have at least some low-grade sleep-deprived status. It's becoming common. We're not sleeping enough.
