One of the best things the AF taught me was how to sleep anywhere at almost any time, but I find that capability to be slipping away as I get older. That most certainly was a strange dream you had. I just wish I could remember the ones I've had lately.Buckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05319116022465066060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18232353.post-2055663824670478122012-09-13T07:00:14.633-06:002012-09-13T07:00:14.633-06:00Sleep is a funny thing, I've found.

About three years ago I was diagnosed with Sleep Apnea, likely due to being a tad over-weight. <br /><br />During the sleep study, I hit REM sleep about four times, I'm told. Normally, it's hit only twice. While they were regulating the air pressure on my Bi-Pap, at one point the pressure was too high, and it forced my lips apart, and then filled my cheeks like Dizzy Gillespie's. I was aware of this, however, I was sleeping... In my dream, I'd woken up, and was getting ready to leave the sleep study place, but my cheeks would not un-puff... I'd force them in, they'd just puff back up. It was very strange to have a dream that I woke up, only to wake up later and find out that I hadn't woken up before... <br /><br />I had ridiculously vivid dreams for MONTHS after getting my bi-pap.

That said, I'm being ever-so-cautious with these drugs, almost to the point o' paranoia. That said yet again... this episode is worse than the previous, or at least it seems that way. I was off the serious pain-killers two or three days after the event, last time. Not now, though...Buckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05319116022465066060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18232353.post-84605840900125410532012-09-12T17:51:07.418-06:002012-09-12T17:51:07.418-06:00I am about to embark on the wonders of modern chem...I am about to embark on the wonders of modern chemistry... Not looking forward to the screwed-up sleep cycle. Hope yours rights itself soon Buck; I plan on getting myself a nice fat prescription of 10mg Ambien to go along with the Oxycodone and muscle relaxers. I'm hoping it will help keep my sleep cycle relatively - normal.Kris, in New Englandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05185696221729269932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18232353.post-23667904854071325232012-09-12T15:03:08.021-06:002012-09-12T15:03:08.021-06:00Our True-Value IS small-town... the very definitio...Our True-Value IS small-town... the very definition of such.
