Rest Aids

     Sleep is amazing.  We say we fall asleep; we don't know how or when it happens.  It comes to us.  When I had young children, I observed the process of fighting it and also surrendering to it.  Sleep is a necessary way we rest.
     My husband was diagnosed with sleep apnea about six years ago.  They said he could go home early after his sleep study showed he stopped breathing well over 300 times.  Since the diagnosis and various fittings of face masks, he has used a CPAP machine to help him get the benefits of sleep.  Recently I photographed him before he got up, because I wanted to include this phenomenon in my investigation of rest.  I had to take quite a few photos with flashes to get the frame I wanted.  To note: he is faking sleep here.  I am glad he is getting better sleep, and the hum of the machine is much better than snores and snorts and jolts.  
      I want to get the benefits of good sleep.  Sleep apnea, stress, lack of exercise, too much screen time, intake of certain foods or drinks, and environmental and health issues can interfere with sleep.  I hope to do what I can to sleep well and let my body and brain enjoy the benefits.  Am I willing to work on ways to improve the possibilites of sleeping well?
