Red Mosquito

Decently. I crashed early.

Not very well. Kept waking up thinking about stupid work stress stuff, and finally gave in and got up at 5:00.

I woke up it seems like 100 times. Didn’t sleep well at all.

Those nights suck. For a few years I really think I woke up 40-50 times every night. It was probably more like 25, but not ideal one dang bit.

Great! Super happy to be awake right now!

I have been snoring like a mother fucker lately. Its affecting my sleep (and I'm sure the wife's as well!).

Another unsatisfying night of sleep.

Fell back asleep on the couch for another hour. So 3.5 total hours of mostly bad sleep.

I’m on two flights this morning and may fall out.

That’s why they make you buckle

Have you ever dramatically shifted sleeping positions?

For years, I slept on my stomach and smashed my cheek / face against a pillow or nothing at all.

Now, I sleep mostly on my back w/ head elevated a bit to reduce fluid retention / swelling in the face. It's quite nice but taking me awhile to get used to.

why are you so concerned about your face?

I have a decent case of rosacea, which basically means I have sensitive skin that can flare up when it's irritated so doc recommended keeping my face off the pillow to avoid irritation and elevated since that helps with swelling.

During a really bad flare up, my face turns red and swells a bit. Besides it being a cosmetic thing, it actually hurts (stings and burns).

Makes sense!

Yeah, then I read about all the benefits of sleeping on your back and it kind of took off.

I used to bite the insides of my cheeks when I slept on my stomach / side but that no longer happens when I stay on my back.

Had a 5 hour energy in my backpack. It’s worked enough, but I expect it to wear off soon.

I've never had one...does it really work? Any jitters from it?

No jitters, but when it wore off I was tired af and crashed for awhile this afternoon. I will say it did make me functional enough.

I’ve only ever had one and it definitely does work.

Let us only partake in times of desperation.

That’s exactly when I did.
