CPAP CRAP
I wish I were having a better time using my CPAP machine. I have to strap it to by face and let it blow air in my nose all night long, but unfortunatley I rarely go more than 4 hours with the thing on me before I end up ripping it off and getting some REAL sleep without it.
I just get way too restless and it's really uncomfortable. And the fact that the setting get all messed-up every time I rip it off my head. Not my fault - I'm 90% asleep when I do it!
So we got the doctor to prescribe a sleep aid to supposedly let me avoid waking-up in the middle of the night, therefore depriving me of the chance to rip the stupid thingee off my head and get a full night of sleep under my belt.
Unfortunately, I woke up about 5 times last night, each time I had the stupid CPAP mask ripped off my head and lying on the bed next to me in pieces. And so I spent most of the night re-attatching the device to my head and trying to get back to sleep - FOR 10 HOURS I DID THIS!!!
