The only successful power nap I’ve had was in a car. I was very ready to drive when I woke up.
Fortunately, it appears you woke up before you wrecked
What the fuck is going on with his leg?
Hopefully just an ugly sock.
You’re winning at life when you really stopped giving a fuck and just do whatever ^^
I think his foot is falling off. Or it already did and has been crudely stitched back onto his leg.
I’m hoping against hope it’s a patterned sock.
My money is on tattoo.
I kind of used to do this, but it was largely due to chronic deprivation. Working 2 full time jobs and apl that
My old man will be like “fuck it, sleep take me now!” and will take a six hour nap on a metal stool.
The “sleep will win”?
If you’re having trouble sleeping, I suggest retiring. Retiring does wonders for being able to sleep.
How does one do that in their mid-twenties?
Have rich parents or no soul :)
How do I contact the devil to sell my soul?
Just talk to the people at Raytheon or Lockheed Martin, they are sure to know the devil on a first name basis.
Live in a cave and eat mushrooms. Retirement guaranteed to last the rest of your life!
Is that a sock, or does that dude’s leg look really nasty?
I hope that’s a sock. I noticed the same thing
Maybe a tattoo?
A tattoo that looks like infected flesh
don’t worry about that, a couple critters been gnawin at it but it’s healin up real nice

west Virginity intensifies
Bacon ankle. Worst case I’ve ever seen.
He’s really a ghoul, but don’t worry he’s managing it fine.
Undiagnosed narcolepsy?
Who needs a diagnosis when you can just sleep under a box labeled “Doctors Office”
Worked with a guy that had that. You can’t tell when it’s going to hit.
Also, we were cable guys. This guy drove himself around and climbed telephone poles.
This Dad needs a CPAP so he can get a real 8 hours. Not needing naps during the day is life-changing.
I feel like one 20 min nap mid-day would do wonders for everyone.
Nah. I despise naps.
They’re so tempting but I’m an absolute tyrant if I take one. No idea why but I get infinity crankier after I nap.
I just feel like garbage after a nap. I am more groggy than before, more lethargic, less alert. The only time a nap feels good is when I’m legitimately sick.
Relevant username?
It’s short for Tater Tot. Make of that what you will.
I wouldn’t mind having a CPAP that doesn’t taste like burnt plastic anymore.
Do you get new supplies regularly?
No, that would require being able to afford new supplies. I swapped out the nasal pillows about six or seven months ago. The headgear gets swapped out about three or four months ago. The hose and the tub have been used for the past three to four years. Machine itself is 10 years old and I’ve never had anyone ever look at it. Filters I can actually change out a bit.
The cycle that the medical industrial complex has us on is insane! Don’t pay them.
Okay. I’m still breathing in shit that tastes like burnt plastic though so they might have a point in this case.
You’ve already done great work avoiding the medical supply scam. You deserve to know what the burnt plastic smell is for sure.
Don’t know what part of the world you’re in but Amazon cpap supplies were pretty reasonable when I didn’t want to visit the doctor just for a new prescription. There is also a sanitizer used for home brewing that should be able to sanitize your tank and hose to make it good as new.
A full mask replacement for me would be about $200. A hose replacement for me would be about $100. A tank replacement would also be about $100.
I can’t sanitize these things back into use unfortunately. The hose is starting to show extreme degradation from multiple years of use, as well as a cat chewing on it. The tank is starting to show signs of rust and I can’t imagine that that is going to be a great thing for me to be breathing in. So I can’t be using that for too much longer. The entire mask also needs to be replaced because the front face plate is cracked and I cannot order a replacement face plate. I’m looking at $400 to $500. All of which would do nothing to replace the issue of it tasting like plastic because for whatever reason, that is coming from inside of the machine itself.
I may just die.
Also I’ll try to help you find a hose if you tell me what cpap model you’re using and what headgear you’re connecting it to.
I don’t understand why your hose would be 100 bucks, the ones on Amazon are more like 10 bucks. That’s where I would start if you have plastic smell because yours is just simply way past its design lifespan.
Have you considered DJS before death?
Take it apart and wash everything.
I literally just finished replacing the motor on my ResMed S9. It has 8 allen head screws in total, and they were all the same size. I used an allen wrench that came with my 3D printer, it’s not marked but measures 2 mm across. It took me less than 10 minutes to get it apart. This guy has a pretty nice breakdown.Everything except for the main board, SD card, and motor can be washed with dish soap in your sink.
I’ve taken apart a couple others and they were pretty simple too, so I willing to bet that you can find a tear down video on pretty much all of them out there.
Make sure to wash the water tank really well and wipe it’s inside down. Mini cpaps coat there water tanks with a bittering agent that stinks when you run out of water. So just be sure and never to let it run out of water, or turn off your water function.
Did that last week. Follow the teardown guide and cleaned it ALL with isopropal alcohol. Issue remains. I can’t not use the water thing unfortunately because I wake up with lips cracked to the point of bleeding.
I’m just gonna die.
That’s the spirit!
To be fair, that will resolve all ailments…
That sucks.
Is your cpap a unit like the resmed where the water tank can be removed and not used? The reason I ask is because I am curious if you can hook it up without the water tank and let it run for longer than 10 minutes without you wearing it and then check to see if you still smell the burnt plastic? That would at least let you narrow it down to whether it’s a water tank issue or something in the head unit.
No worries, I have relatives with alcoholism too
I’ve done this many times. My bf hates seeing me sleeping on the dirty floor, but if I get in bed, I’ll be too comfortable and sleep for much longer than I want.
Oh… that’s exactly what I do, for exactly the same reasons.
It’s good to see that I’m not alone.
Dad?
inemuri
I think he’s breaking some etiquette rules, but good for him.“Don’t wake Dad. It’s culturally insensitive.”
What’s going on with the skin on his ankle, man? That looks burned.
Sock?
Blind?
My guess is plaque psoriasis. I’m no doctor but I watch a lot of TV.
