First full night of CPAP sleep

Slept from 11 until 2, woke up for a bio break, got back to sleep reasonably easily. Up at 6:30, feeling a litttle dry (should turn up the humidity from medium to high) but otherwise good. Don't remember any dreams. The first cause of my 2 AM wakeup was a sharp pain in my right thigh, associated with the numb area I got there when standing too long on a hard floor at the bookstore. Massaged it out.

Need to figure out how to shift positions and maintain the mask seal. Perhaps the manual has advice? If not, will google.

The real test is how I feel an hour or two from now, when I'd be likely to start thinking about a nap.

Awakeness update.

It's 3:33 PM. We've watched last night's Doctor Who, started cleaning the guest room in preparation for my parents' arrival Friday, went out for Indian, did some minor grocery shopping, ran into Liam and Alethea, and now it's time to continue cleaning. I feel tired... but not sleepy tired. Merely out-of-breath and it-would-be-nice-to-sit-down. Yay! I know how to fix that: more exercise. And now I have enough energy to start that cycle: exercise and good food, losing weight, gaining stamina, leads to more or better exercise, and hey, I can stop substituting food for sleep, which means I can lose the weight and exercise more and then...

Hrm. At an optimal rate, I will weigh nothing at all in three years, but be able to lift a non-hybrid compact sedan and carry it out to the curb, twice. Might have to jigger the figures a little.
