??? about how Im feeling

Post by miche679 » Mon Aug 11, 2014 7:04 pm

So I have had my machine for about two weeks. I had to switch masks and have had this one for a week and have noticed the following.

I feel mentally more alert and not sleeply that way BUT my eyes and body still feel tired. Is this something that just takes longer to get used to? Its only 8 pm and I am ready for bed. AT the same time my brain is WIDE awake and I know once I lay down I wont sleep for a while.

Thanks,
