Sleep studies suck.

It doesn't matter where they happen, sleep studies suck. This one sucked less than the last one because the tech was young and cute and personable, and my arthritis wasn't acting up so laying in a strange bed wasn't painful. For all that, though, it's still lying in a strange bed hooked up to wires with tape pulling on your leg hairs.

For those of you, dear friends, who want a review of the Tempurpedic mattress, you'll have to look elsewhere. My pulmonologist, for all his many talents, does not know the difference between memory foam and regular old closed-cell foam rubber. It was not a comfortable bed.

There is blessing in that I was able to sleep with the CPAP machine. The delivery system wasn't a full face mask, it was like a scuba regulator for your nose. Large-ish and cumbersome, it took some getting used to but it wasn't unbearable. The machine was silent, which surprised me.

It was not a restful night, and I'm draggin' ass today. I hope they can learn something useful.

We'll know the results in a week or so.
