What an experience. Never snorkeled out of water and that's how I felt. The machine I used, per the tech was the latest/greatest, and auto adjusted to my breathing/etc.
After getting hooked up with all the cords, even the ones in my damn hair, I realized I had forgotten the Ambien my doctor gave me. I usually don't have a hard time falling asleep, but I sure as hell did last night.
The biggest thing at first was the noise of me breathing in/out with the mask. My mind kept doing crazy things, making me think I wasn't breathing in a correct pattern or just not breathing at all. It was very strange. The other thing was when I opened my mouth, it felt like I was suffocating and I couldn't talk when the tech asked me a question.
Next step is to wait on the doctor with a prescription, I'm guessing. I'm friggin' tired today, gotta get more coffee.
Stick with it, Bro. There are many different forms to try. I'm lucky, I guess. I was trained (conditioned?) once to catch sleep while up to my neck in mud, if you know what I mean. Like the pug dog dude, I had several medical complications rooted in sleep apnea. Stick with it, man.
