SLEEP TEST

Ok so dont be fooled by what may seem to be the easiest test in the world right!!! I mean all you gotta do is fall a sleep!!! seems easy enough!!! well i guess it would be if you didnt have "big brother watching"I was advised to go have a sleep test which was to see if I had sleep apnea
(you stop breathing in your sleep). It involved staying overnight in hospital hooked up with what seemed to be 1000 cords they were up my nose in my hair on my legs on my neck just everywhere.. Once i was ready to go to sleep I was watched via a camera that was in the room by sleep specialists. 1st of all the staff were fantastic and made me feel comfortable I was a bit freaked out by the camera and the cords up my nose but i think the worse thing was the clamp on my finger it was driving me crazy, not to mention that the heater in the hospital was up to much and i was really hot.

I didn't get as lot of sleep but it was enough to make a report and verify that I have a small slight case of sleep apnea but nothing to be concerned about. Weight loss will fix it before it gets out of hand. Anyway for those of you that have to get a sleep test it was surprisingly not as bad as i thought it was going to be.
