Will 🏳️🌈<p>I had to return my sleep assistance device (ASV, similar to BiPAP and a bit like CPAP) today.</p><p>Insurance requires you use the machine at least 4 hours a day 70% of the time.

𝑩𝒓𝒊𝒂𝒏 𝑯𝒂𝒓𝒑𝒆𝒓<p>My insomnia is back. I go through cycles where I sleep fine for a week or two then don't for the same amount. It's quite shocking to go from 6+ hours of sleep a night to 2-3 the next. It's currently 3pm, I've been up since 2:45am and my ass is dragging. I'd like to think I'll sleep well tonight but it will be at least a week before that happens. At this point I'm used to it, it's been going on since my teen years.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/Insomnia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Insomnia</span></a></p>
