So, I was hooked up to a thousand electrodes and wires. My brain was wired, my face was wired, my chest was wired and even my legs and finger were wired. Then I was told to go to sleep! Ha!
Well, I didn’t. Not more than a few minutes all night long, and certainly not enough to “study” Not in a hospital room that is made to appear like a hotel room. Not with a bad bed, no air circulation, and someone videotaping me all night long. Not with other people with severe snoring problems in each of the other rooms. Not when they are all trying so hard to be quiet you could hear a pin drop, or keys typing on a computer pad, or the police car outside, or the telephone ring, or the building creaking because it’s the first day it’s been really cold all year.
They tell me I’ll probably have to come back. For another night of trying to sleep … I’m just a little fatigued. 🙁
Someone should start an at-home sleep study business. I have a hard time sleeping at home, rarely sleep well in other places and absolutely could not sleep with electrodes and an audience. They should take that on the road and hook people up at home.
That’s a great idea!
Sounds like a job for my evil twin, nekla. Electrodes, video camera…lightning, Mel Brooks…a really punny comedy!
We’ll call it APNEA! The Musical. Starring Wendy and Anne…and I guess your hubbies. What a concept. What will the stage version look like?
Sorry. That sounds awful… I agree the at home sleep study is a great idea…
Geez. I’ve always wondered about that.
Want me to take you out for margaritas before the next one? Think that would skew the results?????
I’ve always wondered if anyone could really sleep (or not sleep) all wired up in a stranage place with a video camera like they would at home in their own familiar bed. Sorry they’re making you come back!
For heaven’s sakes… this is Jessica! Shae logged in on my computer. *I’M* offering to take you for margaritas… not my husband. Tell your husband that he doesn’t have to beat up my husband for offering to get you drunk. Geez!!!!
