Night Vision Sony Camcorder

Post by Brushy Hollow Bill » Tue Apr 21, 2009 3:40 pm

I have had the thing around forever and I kinda wanted to see what was happening to me while I sleep. It helped me figure out why I was taking the mask off at night and that my hose placement was all wrong for me.

It also showed me that my unconscious mind has about a good 3 minutes worth of a sleep-talk comedy routine. It's not Leno ready but it is pretty tight comically. I kid

All kidding aside, I have been hitting the record button whenever I wake up to take a pee or whatever just to see what is going in the world of the Hosers. Take a pee that reminds me of an old joke about how to catch a polar bear.

Just a thought

It was in response to the bad movies that were made during the 70's. I am still appaled and it .......Just kidding. I would knock the mask halfway off and then the hose would come off. The video gets scary after that because I would start trying to get the mask off and then I would raise my arms like I was pleading and then I would take the mask off. Once off, I would put it on the side of the bed where my wife is or lay it on the floor on my side. The hose was driving me crazy when I was sleeping..
It looks weird but I am just saying things go on when you are a-sleep that will tell you things about yourself when you are awake.

Get yourself a hose management system. I myself use the HoZer Levitation System. There are several others available or you can rig up your own. Search here for "hose management" and you'll find lots of ideas.

I was constantly dreaming of hunting snakes until I got the hose off the bed and into the HoZer.

When I recorded my sleep I learned I had had 55 minutes of motion,mostly leg and foot.
Bolstered my knowledge that the CPAP wasn't as effective as it could be and confirmed my decision to have sinus surgery.

Regarding the hose,wouldn't it be a nice idea to have a silent,minaturized flow generator that would attatch directly onto the nasal pillows or FF mask? Eliminate the hose altogether-wireless CPAP for all!

Thinking it would be better than the Implantable Nerve Stimulator that 'tasers' your windpipe open...
