Kept mask on 8 hours overnight, slept most of it

Post by ellen1159 » Tue Aug 20, 2013 6:08 am

Masked up at 10 p.m. and it took me over an hour to fall asleep (lots of leaks). woke around 1 a.m., fixed leaks, went back to sleep. Woke again at 5:48 a.m. Haven't read my SD card yet so I don't know how bad the leaks are yet. But this was a first for me to keep the mask on for nearly 8 hours. Could be placebo effect but I feel kind of okay this morning.

That's great news!! At least you know it (keeping mask on all night) can be done. Go look at those numbers...

Excellent!

I'll be interested to see how the centrals look. They looked pretty ugly on the screenshot from before.
