CPAP diary
Jul. 18th, 2004 08:49 amTried a stocking; it was purely psychological.
Only one memorable wake-up this time, and that was at 5:30am. I'd been sleeping on my back, and tried sleeping on my side after this. I'm not sure whether I fell asleep or not but when I decided to check my watch again it was 7am and so I figured I could stop trying. Being on my side, I had some condensation dripping onto my face, which was not nice; just a few drops though.
Notable pains: backache from sleeping on my back all night; soreness and red marks on face all around nose from the pressure of the mask. Double problem with the latter -- it looks as if I'm developing a pimple right under the "pressure area" -- ouch! I think the odd-around-the-top-front-teeth feeling is also from the pressure of the mask.
Sleepwise, I feel, not bursting with energy, but as if my energy reserves are being filled up more. More alert, as if more of my brain is on-line.
Looks as if I have a single-nostril stuffy nose. That is, one nostril is free, the other is completely blocked.
