Hey WC,

Sometimes it might be a situation that can be helped by just adding 02 through the nostrils at night so oxygen doesn't stay too low for too long. This would be especially true if a person also developed a lung disorder like COPD.

I'll get an oxygen monitor one day. i think you can get the kind that can download to a phone or a laptop so you can do the whole measurement overnight. It's not a complete test but it is also easy.

Do you notice any synchronization between good sleep/poor sleep periods and the seasons. Up here we have a very large change in daylight hours over the course of the year. The last few days my sleep has been better, so I haven't had to up my Lyrica. It turns out the kefir I drink does have the two strains that have some evidence of benefit for bipolar mania. I'm back to drinking this once a day with a bit of chocolate protein powder to get it down. i read that older people need more protein to maintain muscle. not sure if it is true though.

I used to be able to rely on myself to power through any physically or mentally stressful situation. It seems like an irony now.
