Something remarkable happened today. Something I've been unable to do for many years.
I napped.
Let me repeat that: I NAPPED.
Feeling strangely tired around noon following a phone chat with my parents, I laid myself down in bed about 12:45pm and slept unassisted--no CPAP, no drugs--not waking up until around 2:30 or so.
That is the first time I've truly been able to nap during the day in about... must be five years. Before this, I've tried, but always been unable to. Either the sleep apnea or the CPAP mask or some combination thereof prevented it. But now...
Napping is one of the two things my sleep apnea has rendered me unable to do for years, the other being to simply sleep in. Looks like the surgery not only worked, but I'm slowly relearning how to sleep as well. That nap felt good, if a bit disorienting, and we'll see how I feel tonight.
Regardless, that nap alone makes this a very good day.
