First night in a while I may not lurk till 4am

[U. A.]

Welp, heading off this eve to a sleep study to try and see why I'm so tired all the damn time (spoiler: probs cause I'm effing miserable). Planning to bring devices but even if there ends up being secure wifi, not sure I wanna be glued to the forums while a bunch of researchers are monitoring my brainwaves. It'll all be a waste of time and comfort but fuck it, at least some medical shit is free in this country, and data is cool I guess.

I've grown dependent on this place; it'll be weird not to be able to be lulled to sleep by the sweet sounds of screaming suicidal people. Maybe the researchers will be nice and funny and it won't be traumatizing to spend the night in a medical setting. Maybe I'll actually conk out early and get more than the minimum 4 hours sleep they need to monitor. Maybe I'll spontaneously die during the study! Who knows. Anyway I'll be missing y'all

I've had three of these, they didn't find anything. In the first two I didn't sleep more than 3 hours. Good luck, fellow unrefreshed human.

I hope that a treatable answer will be found and you will be able to get some good rest.

Good luck, we'll miss you too!

Thanks folks. Gonna pack my bag and dinner and head. A tech just called to explain that I won't just have sensors on my head as I was previously told, but practically all over my body. Fun times await

Is it bad the first thing I'm doing upon returning home is logging in here? Especially considering I slept a grand total of maybe two hours? Fuck, that sucked, but at least the tech was nice and I had a "suite".

I missed the comfort of this place while laying in technologically-induced insomnia. I never want to spend another night hooked up to machines by a bunch of wires. Fuck. Have a photo I took for funsies.

I did a sleep study before too, and also only slept a few hours that night. Went home around 6am to use my own shower before going to work...

Everything came back fine, but idk I think I have mild sleep apnea

Hope it works out for you. Have to try these things to know I guess. Sweet dreams
