^I don't get up north much. Too cold. 😰

Did the 2nd sleep study last night, with the cpap mask. Started with just the nose covered but I guess it wasn't doing the trick (funny... I felt I was sleeping good) and they put the full mask and then I slept like sheit. Tore it off and they put the nose mask back on. Nope... whole lotta hell fkn nope. I damn sure will not sleep with a damn mask on.

Got home and slept for 2 more hours. I sleep better without a damn mask!

Tech said they have a mouthguard that will likely work for me. Whatever.

Thanks for the preview of my June appointment. Was exchanging texts with a buddy of mine who was tested three years ago and has been wearing the mask ever since. Said it took him a few days to get use to it and sometimes the seal breaks loose, blowing air into his eyes.

He ignored the issue until his kids took video of him sleeping- his breath stopping, a loud snort, then gasp for air, then back to sleep. His doctor told him if a person has more than 5 episodes per hour, it is bad. He was stopping 17 times per hour.

Says he sleeps better now, has more energy. The downside is the mask needs to be cleaned every morning and that is a pain in the ascot.

The CPAP does take some getting used to it time. I'm still using the nose only, but like when I'm awake, I have trouble keeping my mouth shut. LOL

I don't think a mask would be very good for your sex life. [whip]

What was their quality of life and mean life expectancy at MACS' current age? Maybe that's why. LOL.

Was just considering a derby thread. There is a casino only a couple miles away. Was considering a run.

Knowing nothing about the horses should probably deter me.

Mornin Ya'll.... High of 76 and Sunny today... time to pull the Harley's out and have a Great riding weekend... 🇨🇮

I'm starting my paperwork on my retirement from the Inactive Ready Reserves, once I'm through with all that, I'll be getting an additional $427.00 a month on my Military Retirement at 60... 🇨🇮 I took out a Military TSP plan while still active and I haven't seen annuity statements or anything in years, last I looked it was somewhere around $19K? and I think I locked it into the G Fund (Gov. Secured)? but not sure... DOH... if I left it in the C Fund Market I might have $0.19 cents coming back with this Biden economy, the Carpenters Pension plan, I got a letter from Geneva IL saying I forfeited my 10+ yrs retirement (Go Union they said)[ram27bat] asking other former co-workers if/when they retired were they allowed to transfer their TSP to something like Charles Schwab accounts to not be penalized on any withdraws? what a web of BS!!!

I remember the sleep study stuff. Mostly slept for chit because all the wires hooked up made me afraid to move.

I do the mask thing and can sleep through the night now. Mostly because Mrs Beach doesn't kick me for snoring anymore

20+ years ago I did a Sleep Study immediately follow by an "Awake Study" the whole next day. Awake Study measures drowsiness.

Sixty minutes in in the same cold room (60F) with just a paper medical shirt and shorts, loud tv, folding chai keep me awake, The hour was followed by 10 minutes in bed with a blanket and electrodes- to see if I would fall asleep and how quickly. I quickly fell asleep x9 times they they told me I didn't have to do it usual 10th time.

Neurologist said no apnea, but severe drowsiness caused by type of brain waves due to encephalitis in 2000. Thankfully that has been addressed by medication
