Sleep Study

[JR4AU]

Sleep apnea can really fuck up your health.  I had a sleep study a while back.  I have apnea like a motherfucker.  It took some getting used to, but the CPAP masks and stuff have really advanced, and I now sleep great with it.  If you have it, you won't realize how bad you're sleeping and how bad you feel until you get a good night's sleep wearing one.

As you get older sleep becomes more and more impossible to regulate. 

I'm wide ass awake at 2 a.m.  I'm wide ass awake at 5 a.m.   Eight at night I'm dragging, but if I go to sleep then, I wake up at midnight or one, and am up for the duration. Right now?  I could doze.  But I can't. I don't live in Mexico. 

I go months sleeping maybe three or four hours a night and then I have a day where I just can't go any more and I sleep the whole thing pretty much.  Then I'll sleep six or seven hours a night for a while.  Then I start waking up in the middle and get maybe five.   And then four.  And then three.

As for the apnea thing?  I hate to say this because I have some of the same issues but I don't know any skinny people who claim to have it.   

When I weigh 190 or less, I don't snore.  When I weigh 230 or more, I do.

Weight is often a contributing factor.  It is with me for sure.  But some skinny folks do have it bad too.

I'll take my laptop in tonight and post on the X....because I ain't goin' to sleep with all that shit hooked up to me and people watching.  They said do what you normally do so I'll bring a bottle of bourbon and rub one out to some porn.

You should be here with me today in these software demonstrations.  I have already caught myself dozing twice this morning.  With another 4 hours to go, I fully expect to be elbowed by a coworker as I start to snore.

You snore?  You got sleep acne, boy.

Update.  I didn't have fun.  I was at least hoping I'd have a hot nurse attendant hooking me up to all those electronics.  Nope, some dude named Bruce.  When did male nurses start wearing scrub shorts and crocs?  Anywho, for those of you who haven't been there, done that....you have:

An electrode on each calf
3 on the chin
1 beside the left eye
1 tube up each nostril to monitor breathing (taped)
1 small microphone taped to the bridge of your nose that extends over your mouth to pick up Bama...err mouth breathing
3 electrodes on your neck
7...count em'...7 across your forehead
4 stuck around your scalp with individual pieces of Hubba-Bubba Bubble Gum
A monitor belt around your chest
A monitor belt around your waste
one clip monitor on a finger of your choosing
Wasn't sure the cock clip was nevessary and eventually he told me that was optional and changed the subject

The guy says if I need anything, press the button and says Good Night.  Of course, I was already alseep by that time because who could stay awake in such a warm, relaxing atmosphere.  After 30 minutes of hell in chains, I was pressing the button.....AMBIEN BITCH...NOW!!!

I only had 5 "events" the whole night. The hand job doesn't count.  Probably no CPAP for me.

Story of my life.  What was the outcome of your study?

the bitch left him.

[War Eagle!!!]

I wish. It would have probably worked out better...

When I had my sleep study, I had like 5 events a minute.  The 'male nurse', who is actually some kind of tech, not a nurse, told me in the morning that if he'd ever seen worse apnea, he couldn't recall it. 

[Snaggletiger]

They were trying to do a one night study.  If I showed definite signs of teh apneas, they would wake me in 2 hours and fit me with a mask.  He gave me about 45 minutes to play around with the mask to get used to it si it wouldn't be such a surprise at 2:00 in the morning.  So I did an alien role play sort of thing while jumping off the bed on to the chair..."Greetings earthling bitches.  I have come to drink your Crown and stir your woman collards with my martian...." Anyway...I was hoping nothing would happen because I hated, hated, hated that damn mask.  NO...WAY...was that happening.

After he gave me my sleeping potion, the next thing I knew, the lights came on and he said, study over.  Said I had about 5 events the whole night but they would call in a few days to go over the results.

I would be dead now if not for Ambien.  Greatest drug on the planet.  I take on 5mg most every night before bed and get probably six hours out of it, which is five and a half more cumulative hours than I would get without it.

It definitely put me to sleep but I've got a headache this morning.  Don't know if it's the ambien or the thousands of volts of energy coarsing through my head last night.

Damn, I thought I was bad.  I had 46 events per hour.  So basically I was waking up every minute and a half or something.

They gave you Ambien?  Those motherfuckers!  They didn't offer me shit.

[Snaggletiger]

Had they not given me ambien, they would have been studying my wired up ass watching television.  I told him before we started it wasn't happening without either an ambien...or a reach around.

I tried it when I worked teh midnights as a jackboot thug.  I couldn't tell it worked that great.  Lortabs chased with Crown, that's another story.

The simpler thing would be to pop an ass like the one in your avatar every night....I'd drift off with a smile a mile wide.
