Day 2 of the CPAP Chronicles - Dreamweaver

So I slept again with the CPAP. This time I had only one real wake up call, a 2 AM bladder-break. But boy did I have dreams. The 2 AM wake up call involved me actually sitting on the side of the bed for a couple of minutes - long enough to wake up and realize I didn't have to dream about gathering up piles of zinc in order to go back to sleep! Considering I had gathered up all the zinc, this was a good thing. (No, I have no idea the significance of gathering any material, including zinc.)

I did have a brief episode around 4 am when my eyes popped open and I looked at the clock. In my dream, some angry construction workers were going to beat me up for reasons that were unclear at best. That episode ended with me saying "weird dream" and immediately going back to sleep. The alarm went off at 6:15 AM and I eventually got up. For the first time in a very long time I felt rested and awake instead of groggy!

Oh, and I did in fact read the manual for my CPAP machine last night. It's a highly-automated model and does pretty much everything except make breakfast the next morning. On review, I learned that the air pressure settings on CPAPs are measured in centimeters of water. One PSI = 70.307 centimeters of water (for those metrically-challenged, that's a column of water 2 feet high).
