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

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

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.

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.

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

More thinking required.

No wisdom, just: I am sorry. That sounds genuinely hard.

Same on the four o'clock waking. I have found nothing that fixes it but I have found it helps to know I am not alone in it.

Bookmarking. This is the clearest description of a plateau I have read anywhere.

My pharmacist caught something similar for me. They are the most underused people in the whole system.
