Sleep Study - My Experience

For those of you who aren’t aware, I’ve been working through some health issues lately, mostly related to stress, all with physical ramifications. This is one of the reasons I haven’t posted in a while. I’ll try to make up for that now.

Yesterday, I went to a sleep clinic to see whether or not I’m having any difficulties breathing at night. I had no idea what to expect, and it was quite an experience! If you can get past the hard mattress, flimsy pillows and clinic-like atmosphere, it’s really not too bad. The staff was very nice, the room was very dark, and you get over the fact that you’re on an infrared camera and microphone pretty quickly.

The most interesting part is the preparation, when they cover you with electrodes and hook you up to your monitor. This is actually the reason I wanted to make this post, because I just had to share the pics :)

    What the..? Hope all is well and that you do not have any weird sleeping issues :/ Unless Amy has noticed these things? I urge you to take more time for yourself (Amy and the pets included). More breaks and vacations….! On another note, I quite like your blog…it seems light weight, what is it? :D
