Right now I am watching a bird fly over and over at my front room window. I wonder if there used to be a nest above the window. I hope she doesn't hurt herself. Maybe I should go buy some bird houses. OK, I just closed the curtain a little and she seems to have stopped.
Last night I went out for sushi with some friends from work. It was fun! I don't have fun often enough these days. This week I finally get to go back to the sleep clinic and see if a CPAP machine will work. I sure hope it does. I am so tired of being tired. I am still trying to figure out why the doctor thinks I need one. I am about 20 pounds overweight but I have been tired since I was about 20 and I was tiny back then. In fact, the tech at the clinic said I was very small compared to most of the patients that he sees. Anyway, I don't know. All I know for sure is the doctor said I wake up on average every 45 seconds and my legs move a lot (it is not "restless legs syndrome). If you know anything about these machines let me know.
OK, I am going back to bed to read my book and maybe have a delicious nap!
Did you ever have mono? I ask that because I had it very badly as a teenager and I think I am always more tired than I should be.
ReplyDeleteI don't really know much about the CPAP machine but I would hope very much that it helps you.
Hi Birdie .. I was listening to a doctor today about insomnia .. he just said (he suffers) it's the brain .. no stimulants before sleep, relax as much as you can - for you 'no worry'! .. eat well ... ie veg and fruits main;y .. well you know more than I do .. you have to peel your own layers again - it's up to you .. very difficult - but if you can step away - boy oh boy .. do you feel better.
ReplyDeleteI know I got rid of stress and anxiety 20 years ago or so .. and it's made me a lot less frenetic and I can only do what I do ..
Do what you need to do .. and don't worry about the rest .. so pleased you had a good time with your friends .. cheers Hilary
Are you sleeping with the Ungrateful Bastard? When I sleep with my cats it's not a quality sleep.
ReplyDeleteI'm really glad to hear that you went out with friends and had a great time!!! You deserve to be happy.
ReplyDeleteBirdie, my partner started using a Cpap machine a few years ago and it has made such a difference in both our lives. He was not getting any REM sleep and was tired all the time, no matter when he went to bed he never felt rested. After a few months with the machine we noticed he had more energy and wasn't napping in the daytime plus he doesn't snore so I get more sleep and in a better mood;)It wasn't easy at first for him to get use to sleeping with a face mask on and a hose attached, rolling over was a pain in the arse. I know the cost was quite a bit but I think you can rent the machine to try and buy your own mask to see if it works for you. Good luck.
ReplyDeleteDelicious post! I hope you get some rest and feel better.
ReplyDeleteMmm... sushi. Glad you had fun.
ReplyDeleteI don't know anything about CPAP machines but my cousin seemed to be helped by whatever one he was using.
