I am going to get tested next Friday night 3/14.
Can't wait to try and sleep at a clinic with sensors all over me.
Damn sleep apnea, it's killing me.
that is the strangest thing about sleep clinics IMO.
they study your sleep patterns in an unfamiliar place.
i guess some of the tests are 24 hours long and they recommend you try to sleep quite a bit, and you lose track of time, but there's no sleep like home sleep.

Not only that but you are hooked up to so many gizmos that you can't sleep comfortably to begin with.

I did my test last night. It sucked. I could not fall asleep with all the crap hooked up to me. Then around 2am they came in and hooked me up to the cpap machine. What a load of crap, I am more tired now and have a terrible headache. They said I would wake up more refreshed after using the cpap machine---WRONG! I wish my wife would have never mentioned to our doctor that she once noticed me stop breathing at night, ONCE.

Just one reason I don't want a cat in my own place. Sure they're nice and all, but....too much trouble, and a bit dirty. Butt's dirty? Lick it. Then lick fur. Then go rub against people. Maybe they're not being friendly when they do that. Their thought is, "Haha! Stealth butt-rub on you, lumbering biped!" Or if they need toilet paper - the world is their toilet paper. Stealth butt-rub be damned, it's time for the Public Butt Drag. Then there are the hairball landmines.
