Last night near bedtime, i began feeling out of sorts. An ache in my back compounded a feeling of nausea. What could possibly be wrong, I wondered. I prepared my recliner for sleep, but when I was in position, I felt ill.
I got up and went to the bathroom just in case. Nothing happened. As I entered my bedroom, I looked longingly at the bed that i have been avoiding the past weeks because of the breathing issues (CPAP- related and sinus-related).
I didn't care. I lay down in my bed and felt the weight of the world slip away from me. Shortly after that, realizing that breathing on my own (without the (CPAP) was working just fine, I activated my mattress warmer and drifted off to sleep.
Whatever the malaise was, the bed was my ticket to relief from it. I slept the sleep of the dead and rose around 8:47 a.m.
Feeling optimistic. I won't be able to do that every night until my new CPAP mask arrives, but it's nice to know I can do it when I need to.
