Day 8 and self-care

Small details and small hopes

One thing that’s been bothering me is having my nose and lips super dry while using the CPAP. Specially the nose, because if it gets dry I start breathing even more through my mouth, then I drool and my mouth gets dry too. So I added two items to my routine before putting on the mask.

For the nose. As it’s gel it doesn’t run down your nose so easily, which is nice. The itching is enough to make me want to throw the mask through the window.

Irish brand, sustainable and not greasy at all!

I still have problems with dry nose every now and then because of my natural trouble breathing through my nose. Already seeing a doctor for that, but he says it’s allergy. Back in Brazil I was about to have surgery for a deviated septum, but apparently there’s other things to consider first.

Also! I slept very little last night but according to the prisma app I had zero apneas/hypopneas! Yay me!

Deep sleep time is still of free style mode…

I didn’t wake up refreshed this morning, and ended up sleeping again. One of those long naps. And I don’t feel much better now. Oh well.

I forgot to mention and named my CPAP machine. Pikachu. You know how Ash walks around and goes to all kinds of places followed by Pikachu? And no matter his roster, Pikachu is always there? Well, exactly. XD

I’m gonna be the very best… at sleeping?
