Sleep is elusive tonight
Comments (5)gandle and shadowgarden, I guess i stole your share of sleep. I could not make myself wake up today and slept hard last night and kept dozing off and on today. Y-A-W-N. Then i go through periods where i can't sleep for a couple of days. no booze,drugs or pills, just my weird wired brain. gandle,i empathise with your painful knee. My sholder and hips give me fits sometimes. I can't imagine listening to trains going by all the time. I remember when i was growing up listening to an occasional far off train. The who-o-o-o who-o-o-o was a soothing sound but todays trains are just noisy. Have you ever tried listening to soothing music at night.Sometimes it works for me, sometimes not. Hope you sleep good tonight. vickie...See MoreI wont sleep tonight I need your reassurance!
Comments (28)Multiple coats past two is determined by the actual color of red chosen and the base it's mixed in. If you choose wisely and prepare properly, you can have red walls in two coats - three max. BenM's Caliente in Aura paint is one of my favorite examples. That's what I selected for my own bedroom - two coats, no primer. And I've had multiple clients use it as well. One client started at 8:00 am. Emptied her 13' x 18' dining room, prepped, rolled on two coats of Caliente and hosted a sit-down dinner that same evening....See More??? About Sleep Study
Comments (28)Phoggie.....it is not a cpac as some call it. It is a CPAP (CPAP, or continuous positive airway pressure) and I can tell you know nothing about it. You may want to read up on it. You said they ordered a cpap machine for you, but you never picked it up. That is really not how it works as the company supplying the cpap will send out a Respiratory Therapist with the machine and show you how to use and care for it and also how important it is to use. If one was ordered for you, you must have stopped breathing several times while asleep. Stroke, heart attack or death can happen to those who have sleep apnea and do not have it treated. Mare, please go have the test and do as they say. It is not that bad at all, just uncomfortable and you will fall asleep if you set your mind to. Also they will check the stats on your machine (there is a data card in the machine) every 3-6 months to make sure it is still set properly for your needs. Good luck and hope you don't need this, but I will tell you I have not slept this well for years....See MoreSpeaking of a sleep study...
Comments (11)Okay, here's my story, just a little different.... Same up to the "they took me to bed" basically. I got there around 9. Here they do a, I think it's called a split night study. If after 1/2 the night they determine you need the CPAP, they hook you up and figure out what pressure you need. Anyway they hook you up to these wires..some on the head to record how deep asleep you are/are not, some on your legs to see if you have restless legs, some on your jaw to see if you clench your teeth or grind them. Some by your eyes I think to tell when you're in REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep. I had a sleep number bed even. VERY COMFY. Went right to sleep. About midnight or so, they woke me up and asked me to sleep on my back as i was NOT having any episodes. So I tried sleeping on my back. Well I didn't get a CPAP, didn't need one...so I had to stay the next day for a "nap" study. They would have me lay down every 2 hours for a 1/2 hour to see if I could fall asleep. I'm thinking ya right, I got a pretty good nights sleep, there is NO WAY I can fall asleep, not 4-5 different times. I fell asleep each time within 8 minutes. So although I don't have apnea, I do breathes very shallow, and maybe stop breathing for a bit once or twice a night. So don't be embarrassed, use this as an excuse to by a nice pair of PJ's (not a nightgown), and bathrobe. And think of it as spending the night at a hotel. When DH had his, they started trying the CPAP pressures after about 1 1/2 hours, his was so bad. He got to bring one home that next day, I had to wait a couple of weeks. We have two different kinds. If you need one, be aware too that it may take a while to find out what kind of face mask I'll call it, you will need. Make sure what ever kind you get, it works good for YOU. They will tell you that most people do NOT breathe through their mouth, and so you'll only need a nose one. What they don't take into consideration is those people like me who clench their teeth, but leave their lips open, nose ones don't work for me, I need my nose and mouth covered in order to get the benefits of my CPAP (Okay I actually have an APAP, but didn't want to confuse you) Vickey-MN...See MoreChi
