You're right; I was using it incorrectly, and since I was using it to be succinct, that compounded the problem in communication.

Expanded: if you were sleeping like a normal person, you might not need to sleep for 9.5 hours to feel rested. You might be fine after 8 -- or even less.

But it's clear that the cpap is not yet helping you sleep like a normal person. Hence the need to talk with the pros.

I hope these comments of mine aren't making you grumpy. I am concerned about you.
