11/16/2008 4:18:50 PM

I HAD ONE SON BUT IT WAS A DAYTIME SLEEP STUDY.

11/16/2008 4:19:12 PM

11/16/2008 4:20:02 PM

i'll probably have to do one. i am terrible at sleeping

11/16/2008 4:20:52 PM

sleeping takes practice

11/16/2008 4:21:22 PM

lolz. yuz guyz aint no help

11/16/2008 4:22:13 PM

THEY WILL PUT A BUNCH OF SHIT ON YOU AND YOU WILL SLEEP WITH IT ON YOU.

IT SEEMS LIKE IT WOULD BE DIFFICULT, BUT FOR ME IT WASN'T AT ALL.

I HAD TO DO LIKE 3 SEPARATE SLEEP SESSIONS. EACH SESSION LASTED 30 MINUTES WITH 2 HOURS BETWEEN EACH SESSION. SO EACH TIME I HAD TO STAY AWAKE FOR 2 HOURS WITH NO CAFFEINE AND THEN I HAD TO GO INTO THE SLEEP ROOM AND TRY TO SLEEP FOR 30 MINUTES. AS A RESULT I HAD TO WALK AROUND THAT SLEEP CLINIC WITH ALL OF THE WIRES AND THIS BOX THAT THEY ALL CONNECTED TO ALL DAY, LOL.

11/16/2008 4:23:09 PM

well good luck with it dude. if you end up having an erection anyway, make sure to tell the nurse that she can touch it.

11/16/2008 4:23:50 PM

lol. well it starts at 8. how in the hell am I going to go to sleep at 8?

^i'll offer her a ride if she's cute

11/16/2008 4:23:58 PM

that might screw up your readings, if the coitus makes you sleepy afterward.

11/16/2008 4:24:58 PM

true, true. well I'll offer her a ride on morning wood when they wake me up at 6 in the morning

11/16/2008 4:25:37 PM

THEY CAN TALK TO YOU THROUGH AN INTERCOM SON. BUT REMEMBER THERE'S A VIDEO CAMERA IN THE ROOM SO DON'T WHACK IT. APPARENTLY PLENTY OF PEOPLE HAVE MADE THAT MISTAKE BEFORE.

11/16/2008 4:26:44 PM

if they have cameras set up, you'll get to do your very own doctor's office porno

11/16/2008 4:27:10 PM

lol, i'm gonna start doing that to see what they say

and then be like,

"but that's always what I do when I'm going to sleep"

11/16/2008 4:27:28 PM

"Sir, uh... we can see what you're doing..."

11/16/2008 4:27:41 PM

"Well then quit looking or get me a live show"

11/16/2008 4:29:03 PM

sell tickets dude.

11/16/2008 4:29:52 PM

$5 to see me whack it

11/16/2008 4:30:26 PM

best i can do is tree fiddy

11/16/2008 4:31:08 PM

11/16/2008 4:32:36 PM

hahaha. student discount! awesome

11/16/2008 4:33:09 PM

this thread brings the lols

11/16/2008 4:36:09 PM

well....

11/16/2008 6:16:30 PM

you son of a bitch

you are going to confound their data with that afternoon soda

11/16/2008 6:18:00 PM

they suck

i slept even less than i normally do

and the MSLT i had the next day was pure torture



where are you getting it done?

11/16/2008 6:18:39 PM

rex. I"m fairly certain I will get no sleep. Putting me to bed before 10 = fail. Sleeping where I'm not used to = fail. Trying to sleep hooked up to a bunch of shit, knowing people are stalking me = fail

11/16/2008 6:20:19 PM

I had one to see if I had sleep apnea. They hook a ton of shit up to you and tell you to go to sleep in a room with no clock. If you usually sleep on your side or can't fall asleep on your back, they inform you that they have no way to test you for sleep apnea and that you just wasted your time.

11/16/2008 7:56:00 PM

who sleeps on their back post 19th century

11/16/2008 7:58:02 PM

yeah, i can't sleep on my back either.. that shit is retarded if true..and i believe it is

11/16/2008 7:58:40 PM

i can only fall asleep on my stomach

11/16/2008 8:03:59 PM

I was furious when they told me that, and I was even more furious when they fucked up my insurance information and tried to bill me $2,700 directly by claiming that my insurance didn't cover the study. When I finally got that straightened out, the price changed to $1,000 covered entirely by insurance.

I CAN ONLY SLEEP ON MY BACK SON.

AND YES, IT'S TRUE BECAUSE THE WAY THEY FIGURE OUT WHETHER OR NOT YOU HAVE SLEEP APNEA INVOLVES BREATHING SENSORS UNDER THE NOSE IIRC. THESE DONT FUNCTION WELL IF YOU'RE ON YOUR SIDE BECAUSE YOU END UP POORLY ALIGNING THEM. SO THEN THEY CAN'T TELL WHY THE SENSORS SAY YOU AREN'T BREATHING (ARE YOU BREATHING NORMALLY AND THE SENSOR JUST ISN'T PROPERLY ALIGNED OR IS IT THAT YOU'RE REALLY HAVING INTERRUPTED BREATHING)?

11/16/2008 8:41:52 PM

yes
i have had 2, theyre a pain in the ass and you wont be able to sleep with all that shit on your face.
they make you go to sleep early.. this is probably pointless since you are already there

11/16/2008 8:57:34 PM

so basically they need to design a new study that is actually practical to most of the population?

11/16/2008 8:58:43 PM

I don't know if a CPAP machine will even function correctly if you sleep on your side, so how the study works might be a moot point.

11/16/2008 9:04:06 PM

shoulda done a bunch of blow.

11/16/2008 9:04:49 PM

I thought about loading up on klonopins so that I could get to sleep easier with all the shit hooked up to me, but ultimately decided against it.

11/16/2008 9:07:33 PM

i had sinus surgery my jr year and they fucked up the passage ways in my nose. thus i now have sleep apnea. i sleep with my cpap every night. it totally changed me from how shitty i felt all the time before.

11/16/2008 9:07:47 PM

i have one but i never use it
if you really think it makes a huge difference i should try it again
it just is really difficult to sleep with it

11/16/2008 9:47:29 PM

a coworker of mine has one and swears by it. He even takes it with him if he's working out of town because it makes a large difference in the restfulness of his sleep.

11/16/2008 9:56:39 PM

maybe ill look for it tomorrow
i cant sleep without ambien anyways

11/16/2008 11:24:06 PM

well all the shit hooked up to me sucked. the nose/mouth flow thing was the fucking worst.

but I got to sleep in about 30 minutes, on my back. turned out being the best night of sleep I've gotten in a long time


overall it really wasn't that bad.

11/17/2008 6:41:43 AM

I got good sleep last night too

it will

it mainly depends on the mask, though


p.s. cpap/autopap/bipap sucks

11/17/2008 7:17:36 AM

I thought I had gotten plenty of sleep.

But I've been sleepy all day

11/17/2008 5:39:42 PM

dr told me to stop being a fat ass
then get some labs done to check some stuff out
then get a cpap study asap

I think I'll go with the first two for now

12/8/2008 4:44:14 PM

can I has post?
