Tried chin strap-woke earlier

Post by Corky1121 » Thu Jul 02, 2015 4:17 am

Six nights ago I started therapy. I slept okay thru the week and woke a few times, but yesterday I got a chin strap and though it was itchy, I fell asleep before I was ready and woke at 5 am and I feel okay. Is this a sign of better things to come.? I think I've read others say they started to wake earlier and felt fine.

Seems that sleeping through the night would be a good thing.

I would do something about the itch. Pad a cheek might have something for you.
