Last Saturday night, I went to bed attached to my mask and went off to sleep no problem. At 3am, my daughter telephoned me to ask if I could collect her from the hospital as she had gone with a friend who had had an accident. So, with much grumbling and muttering I got out of bed and went and collected her.
I got back to bed at about 6am, and thought that I wouldn't bother with my CPAP machine, I would just go to sleep.
BIG MISTAKE!!!
When I finally woke up, I felt terrible. I had a really bad headache and ached all over, and felt as though I hadn't slept for weeks, and had run a marathon!
It has made me realise that even though I only manage to get about 4 hours a night with the mask, that 4 hours is 'proper' sleep. I've only been using the machine for about 3 weeks, yet already there is a vast improvement.
So, the lesson that I have learnt is....... NEVER EVER GO TO SLEEP WITHOUT MY MASK AND MACHINE!
