Anyway, I'm glad I'm not the only one who can sleep for 12+ hours/day. That's what I do on weekends, just sleep. When I got the day off work for July 4th? That's right, I slept all day long. It makes me feel like such a pathetic loser.
Oh yeah, I have been there. I am a fairly recent single mom of a five year old, and when she would first go stay out-of-state with her dad for a week, I would have these big plans... all the things that are difficult to do with a persistent five year old: clothes shopping, painting the living room, watching R movies, taking a BATH! After a few trips for her though I learned not to make any big plans. All I did was sleep. I'd go to work (usually) but my every spare moment was sleeping. And I felt pathetic.
<side note: of course, when I would tell other moms, single or not, how exhausted I was and how I fell into a coma when she was gone, they would all say, "Oh yeah, me too! I'm so tired too!" So I thought it was normal. >
On weekends I used to sleep up to 14 hours b4 my husband would get so mad at me I would haul my ass out of bed!
Yeah, done that too. Of course, that he is an ex now has just about everything to do with the fact that he thought I was a lazy slacker with no drive or ambition who slept all the time. Interesting how that works out.
The old-timers must really laugh at our eagerness and impatience, but hey, I can't wait to be an old-timer hosehead soon either
Well I've just been at this two months so I can CLEARLY remember my last day before my appointment telling my family "This is my LAST night with apnea!" I am excited for everyone who is getting their machine and getting started... stick with it! The rewards are far greater than I could have imagined.
