Try catching a fly and put that in your facemask before you put it on.....you'll really get a buzz out of that...HAH !!!!!

HAR HAR HAR Wom...

Slept a LOT last night. Found out a sneeze does not disrupt the system! (But it scares Oscar right off the bed!).

I hope I start sleeping less, cause the humidifier runs out an hour or two before I wake up. I've turned it down twice trying to make it last.

Alberta gets really DRY in the winter! :-)

I'll apologize before I post this.....

When I read the title of the thread I thought of this....

A vast improvement over many of my past choices, RICHARD!

You mean.....you dated R2D2 ??????

Yeah - and slow dancing with him was SOOO embarrassing!

Last night...still slept a lot...what's with this extra air out of the mouth? I seemed to be swallowing it while inhaling. Weird.

Oh well, I am awake and alive, so that is the main thing!

**wombat2u2004** · 02-14-2010, 04:19 PM

Well mate, you should have given R2D2 a little less brake fluid, that may have got him dancing faster !!!!!

I'm glad you are feeling some benefit from the machine.
After a while you will get used to the air in the mouth bit, ya just gotta keep your trap shut, and let your nose do all the work

It'll take a little while before you feel the real benefit of it. As explained to me by my doctor, the body has got used to the reduced oxygen for so long that it takes a little time for the body to adjust itself.
Feeling MUCH better doesn't sort of happen straight away, it sort of creeps up on you if you know what I mean. So in maybe a month you will look back and remember how it was when you didn't have the machine, and then you will see the difference.
As for the amount of sleep required, well that seems to be different in everyone I know who has a machine.......some people require lots of sleep, others don't. What the machine does is give you QUALITY sleep.

I wonder sometimes, how many people actually died in their sleep from Apnea, before science even had a clue what it was.
