Sleep update

[alexxkay]

I'm still keeping a sleep diary, but I'm no longer going to post it unless something particularly interesting comes up. I have, for the time being, abandonded the CPAP as ineffective. I will probably give it another shot in a few months, after a round or two with an allergist. With luck, it won't be needed. It seems more and more to me that my sleep woes are likely to be tied to my allergies, and that the apnea is just a relatively minor symptom. We'll see...

An idea floated through my head in the early-morning hours: chirpy birds are a denial-of-service attack on my sleep time. Luckily, my countermeasures (white noise machine combined with earplugs) are generally effective :-)
