The possibility that I might be sleep deprived, rather than (as I've been assuming) sedated, kind of changes the whole picture of my life. It's hard waiting to find out. I've actually, coincidentally, been reading a bunch of stuff about sleep deprivation. If I'm experiencing even a hundredth of a percent of what the poor bastards subjected to "sleep management" go through, I promise you, it is torture.

The diagnosis of sleep apneoa and the use of the CPAP machine has made a HUGE differnece to Iain. He used to fall asleep all the time at the drop of a hat, and he was tired and out of sorts when he was awake. Now he is much better. Having said that, we need to get to the gym because keeping the extra weight off helps.

The only downside is that Frank (as the CPAP machine is known) has to go with us on any holidays, excursions or dirty weekends. Luckily, he doesn't need his own seat.

If our Frank accompanied us on dirty weekends, he'd lodge his bulk in inconvenient places about the bed like a peevish chaperone.
