No, this isn't going to be about some religious conversion. I just wanted to add to yesterday's blog that another benefit of the CPAP is that I haven't felt like dozing off in the middle of the day. There was a time that I thought I had become narcoleptic. I would be in the middle of something--like teaching--and, if there was a moment when I was not being active--say, listening to a student presentation or showing a video clip or sitting in a meeting and listening to the discussion on a topic I had brought up--I would nod off. On days off, I would find myself wanting to nap, even if I had slept in that morning.
On those days that I would complain about being too tired to do anything, folk, you have no idea how wound down I was feeling.
I only noticed yesterday, but I haven't even thought about taking a nap for about three days. And I haven't been sleeping excessively--just around 8 hours. before, I would sleep in and still feel unrested.
We'll see if this holds over when I go back to work, but I have a schedule next semester that should allow me to get to bed earlier.
So, if the people who make CPAP machines need an endorsement, I'm available.

Wow, that's really wonderful. You've always talked about being tired. This is great news. I'm happy for you.
