Sleeping Better

I have been sleeping with my c-pap machine for two days. It will take a few weeks to adjust to it, but so far so good. I chose a "pillow" that fits under my nose and above my upper lip with two buds pointing up into my nostrils. It has a built in heated humidifier. I don't feel like Darth Vader, but it is interesting sleeping in it. Yesterday, I woke up sleepy but relaxed. Have not been relaxed in a long time. Today, it was not quite as nice. My son went to his granny's and my husband went geocaching, so I napped until about 1:30. Not sure why, but maybe I am just playing catch up.

Here's hoping it helps, and I adjust. The second sleep study showed that it reduced my holding my breath from 24-30 plus times per hour to 1. : )
