Day 91 - I had a dream!!!

I’m having “sexy” dreams, which involve me, Henry Rollins & Edward Norton & The Donald!!!

I awoke this morning and quickly sat up in bed and checked who was in bed with me. I was still in a semi state of awakening. I threw the doona back and then threw it back on my body then I remembered my dream. Boy oh boy oh boy, ahem, it was a weird dream to say the least. I won’t go into details coz it’s rude and its bloody outrageous. All I will say was that it began with Henry Rollins offering me some chips and dip, and he was doing that TV game show girl pose and Edward Norton was standing behind him wearing nothing but a black g-string and then The Donald sitting behind a huge desk just clapping his hands. You can almost guess the rest and it has basically given me a fresh new approach on what and how to do chips and dip!!! Ahem!!!

But before I continue with the day’s events I should back track a little to last night. I managed to squeeze in a Bikram Yoga class and was tickled pink with doing 2 yoga classes in one day. Arse crack juice really stings when you get it in your eye. How does arse crack juice go from your arse to your eye? Well basically my juice trickled ever so slowly from my arse crack up my back through my hair and then down my face due to all the positions.

I then came home and collapsed on the sofa and I then had one phone call after the other. First was mum, followed by Vicki.J, then Alister and then I was on the phone with new bandit Bee from about 9pm until 2ish in the morning. I got into bed and literally spent an hour tossing and turning and then found that the only way I could get to sleep was to whack in my sleep apnoea appliance or better known as a Mandibular Advancement Splint or MAS. The second my splint was in sleep was almost instantaneous. Every time I wear it I tend to have a really good nights sleep.

I think I seriously only managed about 3 and a half hours worth of good quality sleep and sadly it wasn’t enough and I know all the excess lack of sleep is going to be added onto my sleep debt tally for the week.

I suffer from insomnia and have done so for as many years as I can remember. My boss Andrew makes MAS appliances and thank God he made me this appliance as it has helped me tackle my sleep issues. The fact that I also have an oxygen saturation problem clearly makes a lot of sense to me NOW after the fact. I, on average at least once a week wake up gasping for air, as I tend to stop breathing whilst I sleep. It’s a pretty serious issue and it amazes me that I have gone through 37 years of doing this and nobody picked up on it. At least now I have answers as to why I do what I do.

Sleep Apnoea is a very common problem with overweight people and evidence and research has shown that a lot of people whom have had the lap band placed tend to rid themselves of their sleep apnoea problem as they slowly lose weight.

I could sit here all day giving you heaps and heaps of information on Sleep Apnoea as my Practice (work place) is a dental surgery that has a very invested interest in the field of Sleep Apnoea. I believe my boss has to be one of the most educated dentists in this field. If you want more info just let me know. If you don’t already have it my email addy is: thereanster@yahoo.com.au.

Work was busy and as great as it is having a day off its always a bitch the following day as there were messages on post it notes stuck everywhere and piles and piles of work that needed to be done. Ahhh well beats being unemployed I guess.

Man I am still so tired and sapped of energy. I have increased my iron and I guess maybe I am expecting miracles or something. I just want to feel like I felt a few weeks ago like a jumping bean. I’m sure in time energy will come back. I must be patient.

Well my shower awaits me.

Stay happy everyone
