P has sleep apnea and uses a machine to make sure she keeps breathing at night. She finally received a new part for the machine and used it last night. Often we use 2 alarm clocks to make sure we get up, but recently we've just used the loud beeping one. I almost always wake up but I also want her to wake up too. I set the alarms (one for her and one for me) but apparently I set them for radio which was turned down too low. She woke up for the first time on her own (even without the alarm) before I did. I would be so excited for her if she was finally able to get good sleep.

After she left, I got out of bed even though I didn't need to, I wish I could go back to bed but now is the time I need to get going to work for myself. I might have to stop and get the "good" coffee.

Tonight I really want to make sure we go to sleep on time, tomorrow is A's class where we don't get home until 10pm.

Rob has sleep apnea and uses a CPAP machine. It seriously changed his (and my!) life when he started using it. We were both sleeping better and he wasn't constantly exhausted. So I'm sure that she'll start to get some good sleep here very soon!

Thanks for your comments, she had the machine but I think the mask didn't work as well. Last night she FINALLY got good sleep with a different style of mask.

You must be a fantastic girlfriend. My ex had one of those machines and it drove me crazy, as well as driving me to sleep on the futon many a night!

It doesn't bother me a bit, I fall asleep pretty quickly (and sleep like a rock) and I think it's pretty quiet. I was a little worried at first but it's no different to me than a fan, which I usually run during the summer months.

Of course, I think I *am* a pretty fantastic girlfriend too! As is my beloved!
