Forgot about the darkness.
That is a good suggestion. We use the masks at night and also paper tape across our mouth as it keeps DH from waking from his own snoring and me from shallow breathing. Seems that we breath better when we nose breathe rather than mouth breathe and by getting more oxygen in it seems to give us a sounder sleep. We always laugh when we think of anyone seeing us while we are asleep, but it works. It also has increased my lung capacity for singing.
DH also just read that if you have a little protein before you go to bed then it stablizes the blood sugar and improves sleep because the blood sugar levels drop during sleep as you are fasting. That is probably what the "sneaking into the kitchen for a midnight snack" syndrome is related to. Now I just have to figure out what to have available for a protein snack before bed.
