The Good Life - 05/01/2023 - Sleep apnea *
I’ve been diagnosed with sleep apnea, and must begin wearing a nasal mask at night while I sleep. I don’t mind growing old, and death doesn’t scare me much, but wearing that mask is something I really don’t want. I feel weak and frail with that thing on, like I’m an old man on life support, which I guess I am. But wow! What a difference. For when I wear the mask I do indeed sleep better; so there is something to this. However, my tolerance wearing the mask is very low and I pulled it off last night in frustration sometime around midnight, only to resume my less restful sleep without the mask. So, tonight I’ll wear it again. And I’ll accept that this mask, and this treatment, are simply something I should do in spite of how I feel.
