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.

I never understood the point of a sleep study. How is this highly artificial environment supposed to deliver helpful results? How are you supposed to sleep at all in this kind of environment?

I did a sleep study that was done at home. They just sent a device I clipped on my index finger, strapped around my chest and put a small tube around my nose.

It’s definitely still a little artificial, but it’s at home with no one live monitoring you. As long as you get some sleep they can use stats and all the various data to get an idea of what’s going on.

“Hmm, it seems the patient has trouble sleeping with a device clipped on their index finger, strapped around their chest and a small tube around their nose. Prescribe xanax. Next patient.”
You’re being very uncharitable to people who have done this for most of their lives and likely are perfectly aware of the limitations
You’re being very touchy about a throwaway line in a shitpost community
