Guest guest Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 Isn't that what that machine is designed to help with?

Guest guest Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 That will change (at least it did for me) to where your body will be craving to get out of bed and you will find yourself rearranging the hours that make up you total time spent in that CPM machine so that they coincide with your needs or cravings to be up and about. i finally ended up telling my hubbie to just leave the machine on the bed all day long ( I had to give up bed space when i napped but not a problem ) and I began putting MYSELF into and out of it at preplanned intervals that totaled my required daily tally. My doc said all he cared about was that i did it for his required daily number of hours.
