Yea, sleep studies suck. You're in stuffy room tethered to a machine by a million wires everywhere from your knees up and covered in smelly glue and sticky pads. After a night of that, if you're lucky, you'll get to stay for the entire next day and try to force yourself to take naps every couple of hours.
What happens if you need to get up to take a piss or shit or get a beer?
You have to speak to the camera looming above your head, then they'll come and unplug you.
Is your life support they'd be unplugging?
The only life it's supporting has been called, "grotesquely disproportionate" and "massively disappointing". Leading women everywhere to ask, "is that it?" or "ya game is bigger, acorn!"
Lol no, you don't typically need life support to sleep.
I mean, a cpap is kinda life support.
That's a point.
Dang.
you just reach out and grab a bucket?
My first study was in a sleep lab. It is as you describe. My second study last week was at home in my own bed. The experience was much the same.
I took an at home study a few months ago and it was just one uncomfortable finger sensor?
Yea, I did one of those too, but it didn't pick anything up, so I had to go in.
I had the same experience, my doctor told me the home ones are often worthless but insurance companies like to make you try them before approving a sleep lab because it's cheaper.
I had that, six sensors on my skull, a nasal air sensor, two leg sensors, a stomach and heart sensor, jaw, chin and eye sensors as well as two chest expansion sensors, all wired to a data logger that was hung around my neck and took as much space as a cat sitting on my chest.
For me, the machine was on a table beside the bed at least.
I had to have a couple EEGs as a kid. Similar situation, told to sleep with a bunch of sticky pads stuck to my head. Wasn’t too bad as I recall because they had me stay up extra late so I was already really tired and just conked out immediately
They had smells?
Oh yea.
