Sleep Study (pt. 1)

May 20, 2005

Ok, Sleep Study is a bunch more interesting than any of the other things that I have described. Oh Well, I guess I will just say it. I know that I snore and I am pretty sure that sleep apnea plagues me but my biggest fear is the technician who watches me sleep is a cute guy and I will fart in my sleep. I mean really how embarrassing would that be. When I scheduled my study I was talking to the woman on the phone and I asked here if they record the should. She said not audio but they have it on paper. Well, explained my dilemma and she giggled and said not to worry they here lots of stuff. I said I understand that but you haven’t heard me fart in my sleep... more giggles

Ok, well I get to my appointment a little late.(You know I am still nervous). I know the technician is a man. I brought Tylenol pm just in case. Come to find out the Tech is cute as well as someone I went to high school with… DOUBLE WAMMY. His name is Frank. I cant believe I did it but I asked him if he heard lots of people fart in their sleep and he said that I would be amazed at what he hears while people are sleeping. Ok, that did not make it any better than it already was. Well, Frank and I had very awesome conversations while he prepared me with the many wires and connections for my journey into slumber with someone watching…. I am so sure! I didn’t even think I could fall asleep (good thing I brought a book). Iwas out in 30 minutes to my surprise. I was awoken by the extremely noisy other patient who had completed his study and frank could tell by his monitoring tools and came in promptly. They got a good 7 hours of data. I asked the big question… “Um, Did I fart in my sleep” Frank smiled and said no and he was disappointed because he wanted to hear me blow. I giggled and he smiled. If he did he sure didn’t let me know and that’s cool.

Over all it was an interesting experience. I made a new friend and had someone watch me sleep. That’s just weird…

RESULTS: Must go back for a sleep study with a cpap machine.
