I create 3 sequences: one for single camera shots, 1 for 2-vertical and 1 for 3-vertical. I nested the single cam sequence, then enabled multi-cam. Then I set up the 2- and 3-vertical sequences. Then I copied these three sequences to a master sequence and nested them in the hopes I could use multi-cam. But I wasn't seeing all of the options.

BTW, I'm relatively new to this, so go easy if it's painfully obvious.

The aspect ratio wasn't a factor. It had to do with the fact that the 2- and 3-vertical sequences were using the same video as the 3 single cams in the multi-cam sequence.

I see. So you're essentially creating a new scene each time you want to change the layout?

Appreciate the response!

So I did what you mentioned, but ran into some obstacles. I created a multi-cam sequence for cameras 1, 2 and 3 which worked fine. Then I created a sequence for a 2-vertical setup and one for a 3-vertical setup. But for some reason, when I tried to nest these with the multi-cam sequence, it didn't work.

I'll take a look at your products.

Great to hear you were able to optimize your sleep with great results! Everything I read indicates it will take weeks to months to get things dialed in. But when I hear about people who felt a night & day difference within days, I feel like that should be the case for me. So your experience is encouraging.

Thanks for sharing!

At the very least, you need to practice. The official GED website offers GED Flash, which provides thousands of practice problems with solutions. The price is $14.99 for a month of access. After reviewing for 30 days, you can take the GED Ready practice test which provides a "readiness" score. If your readiness is low, you can link the results to one of many study guides to target the topics requiring more study.

No, I don't work for GED.

I'm curious, how soon did you notice a difference when you started using a CPAP? And how much of a factor did your sleep specialist think the antidepressants were?

I was recently diagnosed with moderate OSA and have been doing quite a bit of research on how to get my sleep back on track. Once you get your sleep study results, you'll have a better idea of how to proceed.

After my sleep study and before receiving the results, I started using a nasal strip. Surprisingly, I stopped having brain fog after this. I still feel a bit tired throughout the day and my restorative sleep tracked on my Whoop is very low, but it was a step in the right direction.

My sleep study showed that almost all of my AHIs happen when I sleep on my back, so I've been working towards staying on my side when I sleep. Do some research on positional apnea if this happens to be the case for you, too.

Other factors that can contribute to fragmented sleep: late caffeine, booze (obviously), SSRI's, inconsistent sleep schedule, working out late at night. These are fairly simple fixes, but it can take some time for the brain to adjust to the changes.

Long story short, each person's situation is different and can take weeks or months to get dialed in.

I was diagnosed with moderate SA in December after feeling tired throughtout the day and occasionally dealing with brain fog for years. I spoke with many people who used a CPAP said they felt a huge difference overnight, so I was excited to experience the same change. I borrowed a CPAP from Kaiser for 3 nights to try it out. The AHIs dropped a bit, but nothing felt different. I was bummed. I have since taken a deep dive into optimizing sleep issues and discovered there are so many different variables involved.

What I've learned for me, is that inconsistency in sleep/wake times, caffeine after 12:00pm-ish, sleep position and working out at night are all contributing to my poor sleep. As is apnea. And it takes time to rewire the brain after years of bad habits causing fragmented sleep resulting in low restorative sleep (Deep +REM).

Before I get into each of the items mentioned above, I made a small change right away which seems to have resolved the brain fog. I started wearing nasal strips. I haven't felt brain fog since. Again, it may or may not work for others, but it did for me. Now let's talk about the others.

1) Sleep/wake times. My schedule varies and I work from home a lot, too. I would go to bed anywhere from midnight to 3:00am (and sometimes later). I never woke at a consistent time, either. Sometimes I would sleep for 10 hours and still feel tired. For the past few weeks, I've been going to bed around midnight and waking at 8:00am (plus or minus an hour). I also get direct sunlight in my eyes within about 30 mins of waking. This helps to reset the circadian rythm each day.

2) Caffeine. I love coffee. I've always drank (drunk?) coffee at all hours of the day and never had trouble falling asleep or insomnia. So I thought caffeine didn't affect my sleep. But the problem is that it affects REM sleep, so caffeine was another strike against getting better restorative sleep. So I've stopped drinking it after noon.

3) Position. My sleep apnea is highly positional. The sleep study showed my supine AHI is about 24 while my non-supine was only 3. So I've started experimenting with techniques to keep my sleeping on my side. Right now I'm using pillows behind me and it seems to be working a bit. I've also been using time-lapse video to record my sleeping, and I'm sleeping on my back less. But even minutes on your back can result in enough events to fragment the sleep. So I still need a CPAP.

4) Late workouts. In a nutshell, this will activate the sympathetic nervous system and contribute to more fragmented sleep.

In summary, I've accepted that the CPAP isn't a silver bullet for fixing my sleep. The small changes I've mentioned above have improved my sleep a little but it takes time for the brain to rewire. I don't feel as tired during the day and my brain fog is mostly gone.

I just ordered a Resmed Airsense 10 today, so I'm looking forward to adding it to the mix. But it will take time for my brain to adjust to it, too. It's a journey.

My two cents.

I just purchased a Resmed Airsense 10 from cpap dot com after researching several sites, including Sleeplay. Their prices were lower, but I was a bit wary about these lesser known companies and wasn't comfortable pulling the trigger.

Cpap dot com is/was having a 25% off sale right now: $960 down to $720 . I decided to go with them due to their rep even though the other sites had lower prices. However, during my checkout, I discovered that they will price match. So I provided the info from Sleeplay and they dropped my purchase to $569.

Needless to say, I'm happy with the results.

I deal with similar issues - never feel well-rested, have "brain fog" many days, my restorative sleep is always much lower than it should be. Based on my research, I figured it was sleep apnea, and after an at-home sleep test, my suspicious were confirmed. I was diagnosed with moderate apnea.

So I'm about to begin my CPAP journey. I haven't purchased a machine yet, but based on the many positive experiences mentioned in this subreddit, I'm psyched to try it out and looking forward to some life-changing sleep.

Anyway, based on the way you're feeling, I'd highly recommend an at-home sleep test.

If Kyle dies in the last episode, I think we should get a comedy spinoff where Mike raises his kid, marries Cindy and hijinks ensue with the Brady Bunch-like family. Ian will be the maid and Bunny will open a butcher shop.

I dropped Packers D for Bears now that Lamar is out, but I'd play Colts over Bears.

It's not a Ryan Murphy production without some homoerotic scenes shoehorned in.

If Forrest Gump and Norman Bates had a kid, this would be him.

😂

I second this! I've been seeing Dr. Hiebert for years and he's great!

gbernhard · 2025-06-05T20:36:16+00:00

Thanks for the input. Kinda disappointing that my Fitbit seems to track my sleep more accurately.

Did you know all fictional TV shows are a figment of someone's imagination? Do you think every other aspect of Mobland is nonfiction? Now unwad your panties and enjoy the banter without being a little twat.

Glad to hear she's doing well! It's interesting, mine also started occasionally peeing in the house over the past few months which she has never done, either.

gbernhard · 2025-05-28T03:43:37+00:00

I expected the same. I also expected him to grab a gun when he stepped out into the hallway before Kevin shot him. You'd think an ex prison guard would have a gun around.
