I am not going to remember this entry [Feb. 6th, 2008|07:00 am]

Really. I am posting this to myself in the future, and thank God for spelling correction because I am making a mistake about every 3 words or so.

When I wake up, I can barely function. I can't do simple math, typing and writing is very difficult, and I come off as crabby because everything, every sensation hurts a little. Lights, sounds, and even smells make me irritated. I vaguely recall this happens most mornings I have to get up on weekdays. I can also recall that I only remember about 20-40% of anything that I do, say, or hear.

Literally, many mornings I "wake up" either at work or on the Metro with little to no recollection on how I got there, only a vague sense of events. I have been told I carry on normal conversations and do mostly normal things.

It's a little scary, like I have a double life. And my other life is dull.

Apnea?

Get a sleep study done. You won't regret it.

Yeah.

As soon as I wrote this, I kind of remembered all day I wrote an entry saying hello to myself, but when I read this, it's spooky. I know I wrote it, but don't recall what I had said.

Weird.

You might want to get checked out for apnea. For the longest time Cam was having a lot of problems (it goes a lot further than just snoring). He got diagnosed and put on a CPAP rather than going the surgical route. Since then, he's been waking up better than I do and has improved a great deal because he's actually getting real rest.

That's the same route I took. I love my CPAP. It's my best friend!

you can ask aynnie, i have an entire auxilliary drive filled with stuff i can't recall ever reading before, much less writing. Mine, however, will be cured on November 15, 2013, with luck....

on a serious note, do you have apnea, or are you like me and just get woke up so much in the night by other stuff that you never really get a deep sleep -- and if you, someone's there to wake you out of it? I can literally count on the fingers of one hand the number of nights I have been able to sleep through the night since Hurricane Katrina....some of it is stress, some of it is work, and some of it is angel shaking me awake going, 'hey, just wanted to check on you'....I get a completely unreal, surreal feeling some days and literally am not sure if I'm awake or dreaming.
