Hmmm, for those who have seen the movie Hellraiser (or it's previews), you will appreciate it when I say that I bore an uncanny resemblance to Pinhead once the technician had all of the electrodes on my head with hair mussed up around them for my sleep study. It proved quite interesting to sleep that way. The worst part was the tube in my nose to measure the oxygen intake. It annoyed me plus had "Y" tubing under my chin that prohibited movement. Still, sleep I did.
The results of the study remain a mystery. When I woke up that morning, the tech. thought the morning crew would keep me for a day study. He said something about averaging results and some good REM sleep. I'm not sure what that means, but the day crew did not keep me for the day studies. They sent me off to my unit meeting for work in the rain!
I went last Thursday to receive my official results. My consultation and study took place in Smyrna, but the follow-up was scheduled for Murfreesboro. Unfortunately, therer was someone with the same name (except for middle initial) with a file in the Murfreesboro office. They did not realize that I did not fit their file until I had spent 40 minutes waiting (and almost sleeping in a very comfortable chair). They called to get the results faxed, but noone had scored them. The people that could scrore them had left for the day. They were very apologetic and nice about it all. They won't charge me for either that visit or the one tomorrow. Supposedly they will double check and be sure that they have my results!
More later.
