The system will be set to record movement only. It will not record all night (I hope). I'm sure that a camera with infrared lights is available ...

lorraineg57: Certain areas of the country have high incidences of low levels of D due to lack of sun. I work for a pcp and you'd be amazed how many people we check that come back very low in D, (I'm in PA) If you are very low, an OTC won't cut it.

Re: Insomnia or Sleep Segmentation?

That sometimes happens to me too. I do not want to take drugs for sleeping. I am now reading a highly recomended book, "Sound Sleep, Sound Mind" by Krakow.

Re: Aloha, Opus, Pilairo? Need help choosing one.

It is comfortable, but leaks more easily than the FX for me. The elbow pivot is not as smooth and the hose is stiffer than the FX. These two concerns are ir...

Everybody who refused to read it, try it. I did not copy the edited post back here because it is not my post. T...
