HAHAHA... I know that you are all cracking up at this picture... I did too when I looked at it. Last night I had to have a sleep study. The doctors think I have sleep apnea... I stop breathing in my sleep. So... I had to go sleep in the hospital. The bed was comfortable, a king! I had 19 attachments throughout the night. All but four of the attachments monitored my breathing/snoring/non-breathing. The other four were, 2 attached to an EKG and 2 to monitor my leg movements. After about 2 hours of restless sleep, the technician came in and woke me up to tell me that I had met all the criteria of someone with sleep apnea and that she would be hooking me up to a CPAP machine. Basically, to force air through my nose and keep my airway open. I am a mouth breather... so it was fun trying to get adjusted to breathing through my nose. Once I finally got used to the machine, I fell asleep and slept better than I have in years! I had the most vivid dream... it was crazy! I never have dreams because I never get that far into sleep. I don't think I even know what it is like to be fully rested. I am excited about getting my own CPAP machine and sleeping better!
