cpap

my cpap machine right now is my best friend. i love her. i have slept really good for the past two nights that i have used her and it's been so nice! typically people with sleep apnea do not enter into regular cycles of sleep and therefore never really feel rested. they commonly have headaches when they wake up and feel sleepy during the day. i was found to have a severe case of sleep apnea...my sleep study results found that i stopped breathing an avg of 55 times an hour. so the respiratory therapist came over the other day to set up the machine and show me how to use it. the first night was a little rough getting the mask to fit right and stay on. however last night, second use, was so much better and i woke up rested! it's so weird that i have gone this long without feeling refreshed!!! i will update laster on how the cpap machine is going...
