Slept pretty well; woke up at 2-something and 5ish. Would have been quicker getting back to sleep the second time if I hadn't misread the clock again and waited for the alarm (which goes off at 6:15 normally). I'm a little surprised at how quickly I've gotten used to it: the straps are now tight enough that it doesn't leak to an objectional extent, and a couple of times I caught myself reaching up to verify that it was really on. The power of positive reinforcement, I guess.

Tomorrow my pet alien goes back to Kaiser where they will read its entrails memory card and sell me a shiny new one to take home to be my very own little pet alien.

Then I get to somehow attach a shelf to the side of my bed to hold it, and attach a hook to the dresser for the mask. Right now it's on the shelf that pulls out over the dresser drawer, which works pretty well but makes it difficult to get at the drawer (which I use for underwear and socks), and even more difficult to get at the next drawer down (which I use for T-shirts).

Those among you getting bored by this subject can take heart in the fact that I don't anticipate posting many more of these except to mark interesting events, such as the acquisition of new pillows or masks or the sudden appearance of a chestburster.

I'm just glad you're sleeping better.

I may have to go see a doctor about my sleeping habits. I don't sleep very well most of the time, and I snore loud enough to make the neighbors dogs tremble in fear. I think it's time to get checked out, what do you think? :-)

I personally have found hearing about your trip through sleeping with your own little alien amusing at times. I completely understand the sleeping with a little alien. (no, I do not mean [livejournal.com profile] meglimir) I had to have a monitor on me for about three months to make sure my heart did not suddenly stop. I was 19 years old at the time and my heart stopping had happened to me twice already. The doctors were concerned it would happen again and real soon back then. Nothing happened while I was being monitored. But that machine would beep at me and complain when it came unplugged. I'm very glad I do not have to use that anymore.

This sleep machine you are using, I am extremely interested in finding out more about it. I would like to call you and discuss it sometime if you are all right with that.

I've actually enjoyed reading what you've written about this and comparing it to my husband's experience (he has had one for about 15 years, and is on his second machine because the first finally became obsolete)
