SLEEP STUDY - FRIGHTENING!!!
In case you didnt know, I don't sleep. Well, enough that is. Usually I get between 2 to 3 broken hours a night and if I take all the sleep drugs I am allowed, I might get 4 broken hours. So in the recent months I have been diagnosed with insomia. No kidding. The truth is, I have had problems with sleep my entire life, even as a kid. But it has been absolutely terrible in the last 2 years. Before they send you for a study though, they make you try everything in the book. No caffiene, or very little. Taking baths before bed, drinking decaf tea, breathing exercises, medation. You name it, I've done it and still cant sleep. So I finally got refered to a sleep clinic. I went friday night, scariest thing ever. They hook up a cazy nummber of wires to your head, chest, legs. There are monitors to check your heart, lungs, brain waves, etc. With all of that crap, i could barely move. Plus, there is a camera that watches you and a microphone so the lab people can hear everything. So lets just say, I didnt sleep. But knowing what I was going into I didnt plan to. And when they take the wires off, so painful. You didnt think you had any hair on your face, let me tell you when they rip that tape off you realize you do. Unfortunately, I ended up working 12 hours after that night. So when I got home yesterday I thought I was going to die. But I had today off and have been trying to make up for lost times, when it comes to sleep. I will let you know if the results are enlightening or helpful at all.
