kerravonsenWell, last night I had my third sleep study, to see if I needed a pressure change; to get more data about how I was actually sleeping now that I was used to the paraphinalia.
Unfortunately, the weather was hot, and then I made the mistake of thinking that the room wasn't too hot, so when asked, I didn't request that the air conditioning be turned on -- but then I hadn't accounted for how hot the bedclothes would be, so though I fell asleep, I woke up not too long after, being too hot. So I pulled the doona off, but I was still too hot, so I pressed the call button, and Brett came in and turned the aircon on for me, and then I fell asleep again, and woke up too cold! So I pulled the doona on again, and then I fell asleep again... I think I woke up again at least once...
So, well, they got to see how I didn't sleep...
But, anyway, the preliminary data suggests that (a) my CPAP pressure doesn't need increasing and (b) that my mask does fit and I'm not inadvertantly breathing through my mouth when I'm asleep. Which is sort of good news, except that it kind of leaves me stumped as to the most obvious ways to improve my sleep quality. Though it also demonstrates that getting air-conditioning is definitely something to put on the list, at least for summertime sleep-quality improvement.
I've also gained weight again (sigh).
