I'm probably going to be doing daily reports on my night's sleep for a while. To keep a log for myself as I try this new medication, if nothing else. I'll put them under cuts to spare the rest of you. Or at least I'll try to remember to do so.
Got more sleep last night. Still woke up a few times, but not as many. (Helps that I got my parents not to check me, since the first night was okay.) CPAP reports slightly higher than usual apnea, which is probably an indication that I slept more deeply than usual. Strange to have a sleep disorder getting worse be an indication that my sleep is getting better.
(Typically, I have about 2 events per hour. 2.5 is high for me. 1.5 or below means I probably slept too poorly to even have to worry about apnea. The first night on the Xyrem was 2.1 or so. Last night was 3. Most people don't notice anything below 5, but I'm very sensitive to sleep quality. If it gets much higher, I may need to have the machine adjusted.)
Nothing profound yet (and they did say that it would take a few weeks for me to feel the difference), but it's a promising start.
Of course, it could also be that I'm making up for a string of subpar nights, and the medicine hasn't done much of anything.
We'll see.
