just got home from community hospital, where i had my sleep study done...basically, they tape wires to your legs, tape wires to your chest, glue wires to your head, stick tubes in your nose, stick a monitor on your finger, put a belt around your chest and one around your belly, add a few more wires in for good measure, turn on the video camera, then tuck you into bed to act like nothing's out of the ordinary. easy as pie. though i was tired, it seemed to take FOREVER to get to sleep...then i woke up to pee and it seemed to take FOREVER to get back to sleep - i didn't think i was going to go back to sleep, but once i did, WHAM! i was out. susan, the lab tech, has quite an interesting job - let's sit around and watch people sleep all night! it is pretty fascinating though, when she woke me up this morning, she said she could tell i was dreaming - i was in rem...and i just barely remember dreaming - though if it's about work shouldn't it be considered a nightmare? it'll be 1-2 weeks before Dr. Mohan gets results...
