When I went to the sleep clinic I was diagnosed as waking up on average every 45 seconds as well as something like restless legs where I kick in my sleep. I say not that you could not yank my CPAP machine out of my cold dead hands. I was really lucky to have mine paid for by insurance because I never would have been able to pay for it on my own.

Remember that those worries are not from Him, He wants to be there to hold you in His arms and give you a peaceful nights sleep. He is our comfort :)<br />You are a sweetheart and we all love you.<br />Have a fantastic day and tonight when your head hits the pillow, know that I'm praying for you to have a sweet dream.<br />Your blogging sister, Connie :) Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08187302890702147585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1647530198468413816.post-37647022859119230962013-01-24T10:19:34.570-06:002013-01-24T10:19:34.570-06:00I think this time of year Beth makes you feel a li...I think this time of year Beth makes you feel a little low, cold .

But life at almost 82 has slowed me down a lot. Sometimes I sleep well with my C-Pap but some nights I don't but I know I can't sleep without it. Sometimes I try to fall asleep on the sofa downstairs without it and I will jerk awake in short order.<br /><br />I sympathize with you and wish you well.

A sudden change in temp from cold to hot, can also wake me and make me fling open the window.<br /><br />However I cannot begin to imagine what it must be like to wear one of these masks, but if it helps you sleep, then I guess it is worth it.<br /><br />Hugs Nita Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02205365191840035777noreply@blogger.com
