I'm sleepy, but I'm not in bed yet.

See, I have to give Lis a fifteen-minute or half-hour head start.

Apparently, last night, I was not only snoring bad enough to keep her awake, but one of my feet was twitching enough to wake her up, too.

At one point, she, apparently, whacked me to wake me up to stop snoring. I told her I was awake, but didn't stop snoring. She asked how I was snoring when I was awake, and I said that I snored when I was awake.

I have no recollection of this whatsoever, and suspect I was talking in my sleep. While snoring.

So it's only fair that I give Lis a head-start. It is to be hoped that, if she's enough asleep, my snoring won't wake her.

If I lost 30 or 40 pounds, I'd either stop snoring, or, at least, I'd have a less-impressive resonance chamber to give it that deep echo-y bass that is so impressive.

'Course, I come by my snoring honestly -- I remember my father woke me up with HIS snoring once -- and I was sleeping two rooms away.

Have you and your dad been tested for sleep apnea?

[adrian-turtle.livejournal.com]

I know it's a problem that's starting to get ridiculous amounts of attention in recent years. I don't know if you and your doctor have given it (ridiculous or sensible amounts of) attention already, or if you've just assumed you snore because your dad always snores, and when you had days and weeks of not being able to wake all the way up, you blamed depression.

Just what I was going to ask.

CPAPs! They can change your life.

[xiphias.livejournal.com]

Yes; we both have it. I've not gotten a CPAP yet, though.

It will change your life, by all observation. The whole lack of energy and depression thing? Will get *so* much better.

Damn, again, I'm not the only one; going to bed after, getting whacked and poked. Never claimed to be snoring while awake. No doubt, hind brain will try that one tonight.

Did you get any sleep at all? Did you have fun in NYC? Will you come visit your Old (Reb)Mommy on Mommy's Day? Love you.

Try to stay on your side as much as possible. I would get woken up in the hostels when I slept on my back, but not bothered when I slept on my side. Now, as to losing weight, you can try the "diabetic" diet, which is heavy on vegetables, so-so on fruits, and low on carbs and total calories. I decided to go on it when my dad was diagnosed as a type 1. I've lost 17 pounds in three weeks, without even working out.
