Night without APAP

Sat AM I packed up my APAP, mask, and all my gear and sat the case down on the floor in front of the door. 3 of us were carrying things to the car. Bad idea-got to our destination and no APAP case. I was worried about sleeping without the APAP but found that 200 or so nights of XPAP are habit forming. I needn't have worried about sleeping without the APAP-I didn't sleep. Sat in a recliner and did crossword puzzles all night. Fortunately I didn't have to drive the next day. The case was sitting behind a chair where it had gotten moved so the door could be opened. Lesson learned-put the case in the car myself as soon as it is packed up.

You must have been very determined not to fall asleep.
I don't think I would have even finished one puzzle before corking off.

Krousseau,
Sorry to hear of your misplaced pap! Bummer to even have to go one night without pap!!!! It would mean..... awaken repeatedly..... feeling of suffocation......bathroom visits......achy muscles.....and a host of other ills!
Good that you could stay awake and did not have to sleep a papless night !
Bet you'll never leave home without it again, huh?

Oh.....don't misunderstand me-I wasn't trying to stay awake-I did try to sleep.
But.....something was missing. I've grown accustomed to the mask-the headgear-the routines around it.

I have gotten to the point that I absolutely cannot sleep without CPAP.
