Sleep
Have you ever been so excited that you could not sleep? There aren’t many things that get me that way. I usually can fall asleep the minute my head hits the pillow. If I don’t fall asleep right away, all I have to do is pick up something to read and whammo I am out like a light.
I have so many friends who use breathing machines at night. They have done the sleep studies and found they were not breathing while they slept. That is so scary.

They didn’t know they weren’t breathing until they had a sleep study done. They were trying to figure out why they felt tired all the time. One had to go because his wife was tired of his snoring. The test showed he had sleep apnea. The breathing machine has stopped his snoring.

It sounds like you needed an adjustment made on your machine.

I have used one of those breathing machines a couple of times and I did not like it at all. Mine sat on the head and forced air through the nostril. And throughout the night it would get progressively stronger, forcing more air in. It drove me nuts, to the point of me taking it off and concluding I don’t have a sleeping problem.
Back when I was young though, every time I got a new video game, I would be so excited I couldn’t sleep. I would also wake up super early in anticipation of being able to play it. It was awesome.
