Aromatherapy may help CPAP compliance. Lavender, Mandarin, Chamomile, and Sweet Marjoram aid in relaxation and sleep. Nature's Gift has these and a blend of all four called SleepEase.

Well.

New Year's Day.

I guess we're the only ones up right now.

I think today would be a profitable day for anybody with a Hyperbaric Oxygen Chamber.

Happy New Year's Day, SAG, Muffy, Notmuffy and deltadave.

Do you guys realize that someone who couldn't know better has given SAG's nick to a great poster called Secret Agent Girl? (Bet she's masquerading on purpose.... she wouldn't even say what her equipment was...). Gave me quite a jolt, the first time I saw that. But I guess that's what happens when you have multiple presonalities -- you loose one, gain one....

Hmmm, maybe the should be rephrased: Happy New Year's Days, gang.

ROTFL!! "gang" works!

Happy New Year to sleepydave, too, although that was wayyy over at another place, another time.

I suppose Secret Agent Girl could be SAGrl for short. Or SecAG. Or SAgG. Or...She Who Wears Dark Glasses And A Funny Hat.

...Deltadave, SAG, Muffy, Notmuffy, and sleepydave ALL in the same thread???


Wha??? Why, that's a virtual impossibility...

It's been utterly impossible until now to get those three people and two elusive muffins together in the same thread---given busy schedules and typical insurmountable logistical barriers. Why, that virtually impossible feat calls for a special song along with the rest of today's New Year's celebration:

If we have Muffy and NotMuffy does the "gang" really exist?

Oh what a contradictory life some lead.

I am so confused...

I have been on the forum for a few months, but it is impossible to read all of the many posts to know for sure what is going on here.

I can't tell, does this mean that I should just chalk my confusion up to sleep deprivation as usual?.....or....must I develop another personality?

Barry15...don't be frightened away just yet...this forum is a lot of fun...I think...

Good point... It's kind of like matter/anti-matter cancellation properties... Only here we have batter/anti-batter... Same thing... almost.

It might help our newcomers if I explained that Deltadave, SAG, Muffy, Notmuffy, and sleepydave are all the same person with a great albeit off-beat sense of humor.

Please stay, Barry15! Clear airway apneas translate to central apneas---but presumably with some less-than-perfect measurement sensitivity and specificity.

Not to mention (but I will, anyway ) the occasional "designated batter."

Thanks for clearing that up SWS. I had seen a Muffy/Not Muffy post before and suspected as much, either that or that Notmuffy was stalking Muffy. After today's post I suspected Deltadave and SAG were the same, but 5 in one? No wonder I was confused. I agree about M.NM.DD.SAG.SD's sense of humor, especially with that cleared up--but sometimes it's hard to trust my sleep deprived brain, even when the conditions are straightforward.
