My CPAP machine has a built in cell phone that reports my sleep data to a website for analysis every morning and lets me know how I'm doing.

Guano psycho here when sleep dep. Have to tread carefully under those conditions.

@markhawk1 in fairness sometimes it's hysterical, most of the time just embarrassing or I completely misread something.
I avoid being sleep dep at all cost but that can be hard to do in some situations , e.g. if something is super early in the a.,m. worse still if it's something exciting. I didn't sleep much the week before picking up my dog- was lucky the breeder didn't think I was crazy when we spent the night at her house.
I can laugh about that now, but it was scary.

Oh boy, I usually don't get a solid eight hours of sleep in... Usually seven, but not eight.

Sleep would be lovely.

As if it is a choice. I would live to sleep longer. Just not sure how to manage it, how to make it happen.

I know what you mean. Anxiety tends to screw up my sleep too often. If I have to get up to urinate, I usually can't just go back to sleep.

@bingst yeah it started about 15 years ago and I haven't recovered yet. Seems I never will.
