Boredom, sleep or the lack their of...

So I have officially been unemployed for a month now. In that time I have discovered a couple things about myself. I could literally sleep all day. And there have been several instances where I have slept until 4 in the afternoon. I am sure part of that is due to the fact that I have sleep apnea. I think that may also be why I haven't felt a creative spark in ages, also why things just seem to be blah lately.

I can say with sleep apnea it is hard to find a comfortable position at night and feel like I actually got a good nights sleep. That is my current objective. Finding insurance of some sort so I can get this taken care of. Be it surgically and or getting the CPAP machine. By the way CPAP stands for Constant Positive Air Pressure. According to my internet research there are a couple types of sleep apnea. The most common is obstructive sleep apniea where for some reason during the night the throat closes stopping the flow of air. the CPAP machine forces air thru your sinuses keeping that airway open.

The other type, Central sleep apnea happens because the brain isn't sending the right breathing signals. Now the interesting thing is there are a few correlations in sleep apnea. For example if like me you are overweight or obese and snore, it is more likely that you will have sleep apnea, which can lead to high blood pressure, heart attacks, strokes and obesity. So apparently not getting a good nights sleep, and waking up with a lack of energy can help contribute to making you fat. So yeah, wish me luck with navigating the system of trying to get temporary state funded healthcare.


beyond that things are as they always are. All I can do is maintain and keep putting one foot in front of the other. I will try to keep you guys up to date on the job hunt and progress with the sleep apnea. Until next time ladies and gentleman stay well.
