There were two things that made me really unhappy when I first found out that I needed to use a sleep apnea machine every night. The first was that I was unhappy about the fact that I had problems with sleep apnea in the first place. The second was that I don’t like learning new things.

I wish that I was someone who enjoyed the process of learning things. I like having learned new things; I just hate the process of learning them. I think it’s because I was always a precocious kid who came to expect things to be easy for me.

So when I first had to use a CPAP machine, I immediately became frustrated. CPAP equipment isn’t difficult to use. However it takes a little bit of getting used to since you’re so used to sleeping without it. I don’t like that whole "getting used to" period of time.

Eventually, I did get adjusted to the use of the machine and it wasn’t that big of a deal. I sleep better and feel better during the day as a result. It was a good thing to learn how to do. But I sure didn’t like having to learn it!
