First full night of CPAP sleep

[dsrtao]

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.

I have: emptied the dishwasher, done the dishes, made mushroom-onion omelettes for breakfast. Emotionally, I feel like spending an hour on the exercise bike, going grocery shopping, and then spending all afternoon in the pool.

Realistically I'm going to skip the exercise bike for now; it does me no good to exhaust myself on day one and need a nap, at which point I won't know how I'm really feeling.

But my prediction is that in a week or so, I'll either be doing tai chi or the exercise bike first thing in the morning.
