Sleep and anti-sleep. I’m caught between them. Thanks to my apnea I don’t get a good rest while I’m out. Apparently my interrupted breathing happens about every minute and so I never slip into a deep cycle.

I’ve done the sleep lab routine once before. I had a doctor who had the personality of a werewolf. Now I’m seeing another doctor who acts human.

I’ve also been through the C-PAP routine. Hooked up with a hose pumping air into me to keep my airways open. I’ll try it again with the new doctor. But before I can give C-PAP another round, I have to be evaluated in the sleep lab and that appointment isn’t until the day after Xmas.

I don’t have a regular sleep schedule. Sometimes I can’t sleep. At least I don’t have a job or I would be really hurting, trying in vain to get enough rest while working regular hours.

In the meantime Morpheus pulls me in one direction – I feel tired too much of the time – while Mephisto keeps me from getting a good rest, preventing me from falling into a deep sleep, then sometimes screwing everything up even more with a bout of insomnia.

So if some of these posts are a bit incoherent, you know why.
