Okay a quick post. So I have been missing for around a week and there's a reason for that. With the drastic weather changes, because it's Melbourne, my sleep apnea has been acting up making it really difficult to sleep and so I'm so much worse off when I'm awake. Doesn't help it was the week I began my studies and I'm already terrible at studying without the tiredness. This result of sleep apnea was pretty much the thing that stuffed up my studies a few years back.
Still ... I can't believe the weather has been like this. It's basically the end of March and it was still pretty darn hot in my room. The other week it was like deathly cold. Yes for those who know me well I'm usually fine with the cold, but that's when it's consistently cold. Because I don't have many long sleeve clothing I've had to keep a blanket around just in case the sudden drop in temperature. It messes with the humidifier in my CPAP machine, which "suppresses" my sleep apnea, so it ends up blasting cold air into my throat causing me to wake with a dry throat causing lots and lots of coughing. So yes the weather is totally messing with my sleep. This is the kind of weather we get living in Melbourne ...
I just recently got a Mi Fit which is a cheapo version of Fitbit. Why I'm mention it is because it records when I am sleeping. Even though sometimes I barely remember if I woke or not the Mi Fit records what I've been doing. Apparently the recording is more on how much movement I am doing It records that sometimes I am awake during the night. Okay it's not cheapo enough that tapping it lightly count as steps. Pretty much means if its recording I'm awake it means I'm moving around a lot while I'm supposedly sleeping. And this is when it gets worse. I end up pulling out my CPAP mask off. This is the mask connected to the CPAP machine.
A bit brain dead still so post might not run really linear and also this post wasn't as short as I thought it be.
