@2me As helpful as the CPAP has proved to be, be aware. We had a first recently. My husband has started having to get up once or twice a night to go to the bathroom and for some reason he will head for the half bath at the back door. This particular night I heard him get up and knew he went out to the bathroom but then I drifted back off to sleep, he came out of the bathroom, made a wrong turn, ended up opening the back door, going outside and walked up our drive way to the road. Thankfully a neighbor was headed to work at that time, saw him, stopped, picked him up and brought him back to the house. That scared me so bad. I purchased motion detectors the next day that I placed just outside the exterior doors and I have the remote next to me. If anything crosses those areas the alarm goes off…and it is loud. It works really well. My biggest challenge now is to remember to turn it off if one of the pups needs to go out during the night. As hard as I try to stay a step ahead, I always seem to end up a step behind…🤦♀️

@labrown What a similar situation! Thankfully, that has not yet happened here, but we too have a 1/2 bath near the back door, and it is the further one from the bedroom, but the one he prefers. We have a house alarm that will notify us (and probably the neighbors also!) if an exterior door gets opened. When he does get up to use the bathroom, I open one eye and make note of the time, in case he’s longer than I expect, but a few times, I have drifted back off to sleep on those super tired nights. Thanks for mentioning this! And yes! The pups-remembering to disarm if we need to go out with them! My husband has had “nightmares” when he’s had to go out with the dog in the night, so from now on, it will be me. Fortunately, the dog sleeps better than we do most of the time. 💤
