Considering the alternatives I will try my best to overcome, and I am sure that I will succeed. Yea the whole test session was a little bit weird to say the least. I do not sleep on my back usually anyway, so this will surely be a challenge for me to. During the second phase of my testing I knew noise would be an issue so I made sure to bring my Ipod along, and it helped me get to sleep pretty quickly once I overcame the fitment issues of the mask.

The first mask put too much pressure on my forhead and after one hour it had to be removed, because it was keeping me awake and giving me a headache. The second mask was much more comfortable and tolrerable. Then I fell asleep within a few minutes.

During the first phase I felt like I had not slept at all, but they assured me that not only did I sleep, but I snored very loudly and a lot. also during the second phase At one point the tech had to come in and wake me up to shift, because I had rolled onto my right side which is the way I normally sleep. I remembered that when I shifted to my side that I had to readjust the mask to keep it from leaking, but it worked out OK. All-in-all it was uncomfortable, but I believe that I can manage. You may want to try using earplugs, or listen to music to fall asleep. That to can take some getting used to, but it is doable.

During my various tours in the Navy I learned to sleep just about anywhere. One of my posts was on a floating drydock in Holy Loch Scotland. We would be at docking stations for many hours without much relief, so I used to climb up on the operating Catapillar generators and sleep while it was under full loads.

There are also several styles of masks available, and you just have to find the right one to sute your comfort level. My hope is to turn this into a positive solution and not let anything beat my efforts. That is just the way we operate here in the Hll House. Never surrender, never say die. This is the same principle we apply to dealing with our 8 kids. I refuse to be beaten by any child no matter how strong willed they feel they might be. Improvise, adapt, & overcome.
