CPAP. My new sleeping companion and tormentor.

I finally received my CPAP on Monday and it's been an experience. Monday night I wore it to bed and woke up with the mask placed nicely on the unit so I can only suppose that I must have taken it off at some point as it wouldn't have fallen off onto the unit itself.
Ginger hated it at first and got barky for a while and even now gives it the "evil eye".
Last night I slept for about 3 hours with it on and woke up exhausted and in a pool of sweat. I can only think it's because I breath heavier with the mask on  and my body reacted like I was running a marathon. I decided to keep it off the rest of the night as I was feeling a bit too drained to go through that again.

So far however I haven't taken a nap yet so it must be working but I am getting tired now so I'm signing off and laying down with the unit on in case I fall asleep.
