Erik,
Try sleeping prompted up to about a 75% angle. I know it's tough, but you'll make it. The salavia eventually thins out. Do you have a suction machine. I would have to wake up 3-4 times at night and suction myself out to make it through. I was so tired that I didn't have too much trouble falling asleep. Now post treatment I have to take Ambien when I have gone a couple of nights without enough sleep.
Hang in there. You're no baby! This is really tough stuff!
