Tiny robot nanny tells me distressing things

[cupcake_goth]

My company gave everyone a Fitbit Charge for the holidays. Tiny robot nanny to wear on my wrist! To keep track of how much I move around! And to track my sleep patterns, if I wear it overnight. It tracks restless movement while I'm sleeping, and deducts that from the amount of time I'm supposedly "asleep".

I've been doing this for almost a week now, and hey, I think I found out why I'm always tired! According to my tiny robot nanny, I'm averaging between 5 to 6 hours of sleep a night, and I have a lot of restless, not-really-restful-sleep time. Last night I slept for 4 hours and 57 minutes, with an additional 103 minutes of restlessness. No wonder I feel tired right now.

I'm not sure what I can do to fix this, but the information is fascinating. (Yes, I know, I need to go for a sleep study. it will eventually happen.)

I'm still getting used to the CPAP, but at least there are mask options that are much more comfortable than previously -- mine is the "nose pillow" type, which doesn't cover the mouth.

Sleep studies are a night of no fun, but getting restful sleep can make SUCH a huge difference in your health and pain levels. I hope you can book an appointment to talk with your doctor, after your deadline is over.

I've got the referral from Dr. Bobbi, so I will call next week.

Get rid of that "eventually", young lady. I'd bet you some very nice clothes indeed that chronic sleep deprivation has had a serious negative impact on your health.

Matches, bed, fire...

Never have to face those pesky stats again

Do you want friends on Fitbit? :D

[e-juliana.livejournal.com]

Yes, I'll be a FitBit friend!

As long as you promise not to mock my slow return to actually moving around. :)

[cupcake-goth.livejournal.com]

Yes, but I will be intimidated by you! You actually jog and stuff! I ... walk around the house. Chase Vlad around. Stuff like that.

I use a Fitbit too. The sleep part was the most interesting thing to me also.
