Dear self,

We had an appropriate amount of sleep last night--we went to bed at midnight, and woke up at almost 8am. However, the body felt ragged and awful so we went back to sleep again and woke up at 9, on the side, breathing out one sinus. And we still felt like sandy-eyed crap we went back and got up only at 11.

This is untenable and must stop. It's like when lying on the back we can't breathe because we have inherited Mom's awful facial anatomy. Lying on the side doesn't help because our sinus is reacting to something overtime. Either way the nose is working only at half capacity, making us need more sleep as a result, and poor quality sleep at that. Nightmares result.

Let's go see the doctor again for a referral to the anatomist.

I imagine you've probably tried a lot of things so I don't want to throw the obvious at you, but I have to make a recc! Have you tried breathe right strips? They work great for me and force the airways open. I have a deviated septum and my nose works real hard to close one side every night.

I have tried them! I'm not sure they work for me though... the times I've tried them I didn't notice any significant difference, which makes me think my nose problem comes from the inside... OR I could be using the strips wrong! Maybe I'll give them another try.
