Sitting down to this properly tonight.

Repeat study came back and the apnoea is much reduced. Ten years of that mask.

Waking at four again. Not anxious, just awake, lying there listening to the boiler.

The sleep has changed shape rather than improved. Different, not better, and I cannot yet tell whether I mind.

Vivid dreams, every night, the sort you have to sit up and shake off. Two other people in circle have the same and none of us can find anything written about it.

Slept through. Whole night, no waking. It has been so long that I lay there in the morning trying to work out what was different.

Same time next week.

I am eleven weeks behind you and this is the first thing I have read that sounded like my week.

I did the same thing with the box, for six weeks, in a two-bedroom flat. We are ridiculous and we are fine.

Reading this at half past six with a cup of tea and nodding at every line. Thank you for writing it down.
