Sleep Apnea (Get Yourselves Checked!)

weirdletSo I made like Stoic the Vast and did what my father asked of me- I thought it was crazy, but I did it. I swallowed the reflex of 'I'm not that heavy, really!' 'I'm not like Dad, I haven't taken any shots to the face*' 'I don't snore!!!' and I've been using generic-brand Breathe-Rite strips for the last two nights running.
I literally cannot remember the last time I felt this not hungover.
I feel upright and alert the way I only usually feel for a few hours during the day. I don't need to constantly sit, I don't need/want to nap constantly. I am much, much farther away from a hatred of everyone and everything in the world than usual. The headache is gone, the one I've been self-medicating with caffeine for forever.
I'm going to call this a yay and lay in a supply of these nifty little things.
*Pop had a nosejob when I was tiny, specifically so that he could breathe again after a lifetime of getting hit in the face. According to Mom, there was also some malformations that got clipped out. So I come by my 'certain level of sinus fuckery' honestly, it's not just me being crazy.
