Good morning my peeps...
Well, the verdict is in!! I have been using my Bi Pap machine the past few nights.
As some of you may remember, I was being "non-compliant" about using it, and still used my oxygen at night, but no bi-pap, cause it felt "funny, and felt like I couldn't breathe right.
Well, I needed a part replaced and got it in the mail on Thursday. I used it, put it on the machine, and slept with the bi pap and oxygen. I slept without waking up once!!!! Slept 5 hours straight, then back to bed for a little longer, after I was up for about 3 hours.
Then last night, I went to sleep at 1:30am, and woke up this morning at 8:30 am!!! Only woke up once at 4:30am, and went right back to sleep until 830am.
IT WORKS!!!
I'm hoping this is the start of me getting the rest I need. Just wanted to share. I am NO LONGER NON-COMPLIANT!!

Sleep affects how your body reacts to insulin, the hormone that controls your blood glucose (sugar) level. Sleep deficiency results in a higher than normal blood sugar level, which may increase your risk for diabetes.
So nod off as often as you can.
