I can hardly believe it, but I actually slept with the mask ALL night long. I thought it would take me longer, since for the past 3 nights, it was so difficult to sleep with it.

How I did it: I cried for a long time. I began to value my time with my father more. I watched as he took control of his health condition and took steps to improve it. I'm proud of him. I'm also proud of me for my adjustment. Read how I did it…
How I did it: When I moved to Oregon, I worried I would not get support for my Aspeger's Syndrome. However, I managed to find a very good local support group. I am very involved. I've met a friend. Getting support has become routine. I even have a "bus trainer" now to help me get around with transportation, as this has been a challenge over the past 5 months. Read how I did it…
How I did it: Patience. Working to understand his perspective. Assertiveness in asking for what I want and can and cannot tolerate. Good listening skills. Good self-comforting strategies for when things weren't going well or we had to be apart. Read how I did it…

I’m having a real problem. For my first two nights, I took off the mask while I was asleep, sometime in the middle of the night. I packed the machine up to go in for surgery, and since I’ve come back and put it back together, it hasn’t worked.
I need to call my respiratory therapist.
I’ve come up with a new trick of sticking the band to the mask to my head, using a barette, so I won’t take it off in the middle of the night, but I can’t do this because the machine isn’t working at all now.
