Subject: i tried out my CPAP machine today!

I just woke up from a nap.
Yes, I took one in the middle of the day, because I have been so exhausted lately. It's been the sleep apnea. Not being able to breathe has awoken me so many times during the night each night. I know this because each time I can't breathe I have awoken gasping for air. John hears me gasping for air, and then moaning, many times during my sleep each night.
My CPAP sleep apnea mask finally arrived from the FEDEX man today. And I quickly put it on, and set the CPAP machine to blow air through the tubing into my mouth and nose. Then I took a nap.
I'll tell you right now, it was the best sleep I've had in years and years!
John said he kept checking on me because he wanted to make sure I was okay, I was sleeping so soundly!
He said Michael was with me the whole time making sure I was okay. Now I have a kitty who will chew through the hose if I need him to, LOL.
I didn't panic with the mask on, although it was pretty scary when I first started the machine. But I was able to immediately relax and fall asleep. And then I slept so refreshingly! I'm really going to be liking this thing!
Love you all,
Krissy :)

That is wonderful. I love long afternoon naps to get missing night rest. My husband does the moaning and holding his breath. He is overweight right now trying to lose some weight so his breathing is better at night.
Enjoy the machine!

It won't take long to get used to. If you get at least 5 hours a night using the machine, you'll be 100% compliant with treatment. I'm so glad you got some refreshing sleep. Isn't it wonderful?
Love ya,
