Insomnia - SLRPNK

Lemmy

If you’re wondering, it’s a cute idea but they clearly haven’t actually done a sleep study. Being wired up to 19 sensors leaves little room for movement, let alone extracurricular activities.

Source: I had my second sleep study last week.

Yea, sleep studies suck. You’re in stuffy room tethered to a machine by a million wires everywhere from your knees up and covered in smelly glue and sticky pads. After a night of that, if you’re lucky, you’ll get to stay for the entire next day and try to force yourself to take naps every couple of hours.
My first study was in a sleep lab. It is as you describe. My second study last week was at home in my own bed. The experience was much the same.
I took an at home study a few months ago and it was just one uncomfortable finger sensor?
I had that, six sensors on my skull, a nasal air sensor, two leg sensors, a stomach and heart sensor, jaw, chin and eye sensors as well as two chest expansion sensors, all wired to a data logger that was hung around my neck and took as much space as a cat sitting on my chest.
For me, the machine was on a table beside the bed at least.
