I've been getting much lesser sleep nowadays and I feel tired during daytime. Not that I am not aware about the effects of sleep deprivation and how one is required to have sufficient rest to be healthy. I guess, just like many today, the extra troubles that this current Covid19 pandemic is adding a little bit more stress and worry but for me it was a problem even before then.
A few years back, I got diagnosed with sleep apnea and bought a Devilbiss CPAP machine to aid me in my sleep. For those nights where the mask leaks don't wake me up in the middle of the night, I do wake up feeling more energetic than usual but there were a lot of nights that I had to turn off the CPAP machine as it was waking me up more times in the middle of the night and in the end, I can't decide whether which is worse: sleeping less for a few hours without the mask or waking up constantly with it.
It seemed that even though I felt more energetic waking up with the CPAP partially on, I would still be feeling sleepy in the daytime with almost as no difference if I didn't use the CPAP.
Recently, I've been looking for some other alternatives or additional help and am seriously considering the OOLER product which I can get from Amazon using this link or directly from Chilisleep using the link here.
Also, you may search in Youtube and see how the channels compare the product with other products of similar nature and this one is one that I found interesting as it was impartial and informative. Click here.
Aside from this, I think I need to be looking for the solution into my faith more and learn to trust our Lord Jesus Christ more deeply than ever before. Reading some of the verses in the Bible like the ones below reminds me that we really shouldn't worry at all or that much
Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light. - Matthew 11:28-30
In vain you rise early and stay up late, toiling for food to eat— for he grants sleep to those he loves. - Psalm 127:2
Have a great day everyone. Keep safe and stay safe. God bless.
