Sleep Study - Page 3

if we're both wired up at the same time, there is a chance that I can hack into foot's brain and change my grades to all As!

Or maybe I'll just put a zombie warning up.

We'll have to watch closely in the next few days to make sure you two haven't become pods.

I'm here. I have to wait 10 minutes before I go in. I'll try to take pictures of myself with all the wires and shit.

I had baked beans for dinner. Heh.

There is no try. Do.

You need a new profile pic anyway...

it SUCKED

i got a fucking TOOTHACHE in the middle of the night!

and the mattress was terrible. I couldn't lie on my back for more than 5 minutes without my lower back screaming at me.

the tech gave no indication of how it went. I'm kind of bummed

Meh. If it had been bad, they would have slapped a CPAP on you right away.

lumberjim · 06-17-2010, 07:24 AM

I'm saying that this night's sleep was not my normal night's sleep, and therefore not indicative of what I typically do in my sleep. My concern is that they will see no need for the cpap. I'd rather not have to repeat this experience. They had no advil for my toothache.....wtf?... Fuckers didn't even have a water cooler to get a drink at. Next time, if there is one, I'll bring a cooler and a six pack.

That photo should be on your next album cover, jimPod.

I'm pretty sure if you need a CPAP it'll show whether your sleep is atypical or not. I'd just never get to sleep in those conditions. How ridiculous. I assumed they'd try to make you as comfortable as possible, but doesn't sound like it.

Now do you have to go and get that tooth checked out?

lumberjim · 06-17-2010, 09:09 AM

i was just at the dentist and got good marks! I think it might be a sinus thing, actually. fucking hurt, and now it's fine. I'm baffled.

squirell nutkin · 06-17-2010, 09:13 AM

I just woke up from my post sleep study nap. Show up at 8:30pm, get wired up till 9:00, go to sleep at 9:30 (HA!)
Bed was ok, pillows were weird, wish I had brought mine.
9:31 fucking GODDAMN restless leg.
Awake all night it seemed, which was typical. I usually drop off to something approaching rest at about 4:00am.
5:00am WAKE UP CALL!
Here's your hat; what's your hurry? I did get a complimentary cup of tea or coffee, and a bottle of water the night before. The room was so dry, my eyes were glued shut.

The tech told me I snored and woke up a lot. She wasn't allowed to tell me if I stopped breathing (WTF?) MY wife said it was because most people would freak out. I know a couple of times I must have stopped because I remember waking up feeling a little adrenalin rush.

We'll see next week.

The glue was a bitch getting out of my hair. I think there is still some there.

lumberjim · 06-17-2010, 09:49 AM

yeah.... that sucks. I just got a high and tight right before i went, but i'm still scraping it out of the stubble. ick!

where's your pic?

jinx · 06-17-2010, 10:05 AM

So what happens next?

squirell nutkin · 06-17-2010, 10:11 AM

I forgot to bring my camera! D'oh. They took one of me with a mirror, ostensibly so the doc could see my fat neck.

They told me in a week my PCP would have the results and if I needed a cpap, they'd schedule another sleep study to calibrate the machine.

WTF do they do about restless leg? The tech told me that sometimes they can't tell if it was the leg that woke me up or the apnea. I guess they flip a coin.
