Sleep Study - Part 2

Wow, no posts since November. I need to get cracking in 09. I spent last night at the sleep clinic again. This time, the purpose was not only to strap an obnoxious amount of wires to my body but to test my sleeping ability with the breathing device in place. In case I did not mention it before, I was diagnosed with moderate obstructive sleep apnea. I'm not in trouble but I can't just get better with diet and a modification of normal sleeping habits. Anyway, the device consisted of a hose that ran to a piece of plastic that fit over my nose. It took some getting used to, that's for sure. I remember waking up a couple of times during the night and, during my state of drowsy confusion, I would experience mild panic because I forgot the machine was on my face. I'm sure that, with time, I'll warm up to the machine and get used to it. That's a good thing too because I must admit, I look mighty sexy with a hose and nose piece strapped to my head. Mighty sexy indeed.
