I am glad you all are finished with the treatments. Be mentally and emotionally prepared for a little bit of a roller coaster ride now though. For me I was glad to wake up, if I didn't I would nearly burst because of all the water I was taking in. I even wet the bed twice because I was sleeping well. Kind of embarrassing. :-) I have just learned to live with 1-2 hr stretches, get up, drink, use the restroom, roll around for awhile, fall asleep, and then do it all over again. I slept on the couch or recliner for a month because of this so I wouldn't bother my wife. I look at all of these things as temporary so persevering through these little annoyances aren't so overwhelming. What has been helpful is the steam humidifier I got at wal-mart or walgreens. Anyway it has a uv light to help remove the bacteria that everyone worries about with steam humidifiers. It helps more than the mister type humidifiers. Good luck.
