Over the last month or so I have had a few nights where I put it on my head but, fell asleep before ingot the magnetic straps in place.... A few nights fell asleep reaching for the mask..... And 2-3 night awoke from a wierd dream hard time breathing to discover upon waking that the mask was at full air PSI to kickstart my breathing & my mouth was very dry.....glad I had it those nights. Even though I took it off for a few to "catch my breath" consciously and then put it back on and go-to sleep , back at the low PSI flow rate.

I also might've done that as a kid... honestly we never used the dishwasher much (I was the dishwasher) so I didn't realize that regular dishsoap would turn into a bubble bath nightmare in a dishwasher!



I actually avoided using the dishwasher even as an adult, until hubby finally made a request - he said try it out (and it was with a brand spanking new dishwasher that had never been used.... I had been using it as a dish rack for years and only ran it to clean it out!) and if I wasn't satisfied with the results, he would never ask me again why I was so fixated on handwashing everything.

So I tried it. And everything came out shiny. And I stopped handwashing everything. Still need to handwash about half the stuff, but it is a time savings.

Maybe, Hubby just wanted to help you (so he could have more time with you) not busy washing dishes?

There have been a lot of sacrifices but I really feel that we didn't start paying attention soon enough and locking down soon enough.
There must be a reason that a country (USA) with a mere 4% of the global population continues to have approximately 25% of the globe's cases and deaths. We have done something wrong. Or should I say, not nearly as good of a response as other countries.
I think Americans just don't have much patience.

Well the government did not do a good job of leading and directing people. No one thought it was a good idea to wear masks in public for months after it was indicated. And people are so busy being " free" and demanding rights that they don't know a good idea when they hear one.

That’s the problem. People think wearing a mask is taking away their freedom and rights. I’m honestly shocked how broken our country truly is, actually maybe I’m not shocked at all because for years I saw it falling apart. It’s only going to get worse from here.

Sadly, TRUE!

I stopped watching or reading the news. Plus I stopped being shocked when everyone I knew started getting divorced. Broken homes, broken societies, broken country... it’s only the beginning unfortunately

Probably why I love church so much! I hold tight to moral values!

It's not the '50s anymore, nor are the Cleaver's (of "Leave it to Beaver" fame) lifestyle the norm.
However, through human history, that wasn't the norm either. The nuclear family we know of from the '40s to the '60s was really a historical anomaly.
In the early 1900s it was common for many unmarried people to live together, just due to economics.

I take a once-a-day med that, as long as I take it in the morning, does its'job and I'm fine. If I forget, or don't eat a significant breakfast (it requires food) and don't take the med until after lunch or later, it gives me horrendous nightmares! It took my pharmacist to figure that out, so so you might try doing a phone conference with yours. Doctors know what the meds are supposed to do, but a pharmacist knows side effects and reactions. Be sure to have all of your meds and times in front of you when you call. Fingers crossed ... a simple time adjustment may take care of both your issues.
