Good morning. 😴😫☕

12 December 2024

Charlie is in here just sitting next to my chair. They both do that, though Ben isn't here right now. I did a sleep study last night; I left here a little after eight yesterday evening and was home before six this morning. It was mildly interesting, sleeping with a bunch of wires connected to my head and body, who came up with that? I saw myself in a mirror this morning before the nurse removed the wires and wow. If not for the wires, I might have passed for a zombie, but with the wires perhaps a rough looking Frankenstein. Maybe I was receiving a download, I better put my tin foil hat today. Hmmm ... I think I left the book I was reading on the bed.

Well, folks, I'm soon heading out to go do another #sleepstudy. The one I did about a month ago was inconclusive because I didn't sleep enough. I've had a #CPAP machine for over 7 years, but it needs replacing and, of course, Medicare needs another sleep study before they pay for it. Hope this one goes better. Goodnight, y'all.

New sleep study ignites brain cleaning controversy

Recent work challenges ideas of increased toxin clearance during sleep — though some researchers question the study’s methods.

I'm at a hospital about to have a #sleepStudy. no Star Trek tonight, alas

my two main problems are a) I wake up tired (theoretically this is due to sleep apnea) and b) I have a very hard time getting to sleep

I'm a little worried problem B is going to interfere with the sleep study (which is required to fix problem A)

BUT, I'll take my night meds (including cannabis) super early and that SHOULD deal with problem B

I've got a bit before the nurse comes back to put wires on my head, so I'm going to play #LittleKittyBigCity for a bit

Trump clearly needs a Sleep 😴 Study (polysomnogram) 🤔 and a cognitive 🧠 evaluation.

I’m happy to provide him a complementary consultation 🩺

“As Michael Cohen testifies, Trump has dropped his head repeatedly and appears to be struggling to stay awake.”

#roguelike I always sleep listening to podcasts or YT videos. Last night (in my sleep), I enjoyed a 4 hour livestream of #nethack from Larry Fluckiger and woke up when he made it to the bottom level. Somehow deeply relaxing and exciting all at once. #sleepstudy

Sheesh! That was some night.

@cbarbermd I've long felt something is a little fishy with the whole CPAP industry, but it's very difficult to prove it. My "gut" told me something was wrong with a private company I used for a sleep study when it seemed like they were just a conveyor-belting people to a CPAP supplier nearby, and insisted that I needed one when I could read my own charts to see that I didn't really.

Of course my "gut" isn't evidence of anything, but given that I didn't sleep any better with a CPAP than without one, and in fact quite often it was worse, I returned the thing. Now I'm really glad I did.

I'm sure they're lifesaving equipment for people who really DO need them, but I also strongly suspect there's a lot of scamming happening right under our noses, if you'll pardon the pun.

Now just gotta wait about 6 hours before I take my sleepy meds and go do this thing.

I gave up coffee for the month of August. What exactly was I thinking?

I've traded being cranky in the AM with "sleepy all day". ☕

Dave's in a bugged hospital room, with lots of electrodes, sensors, and wiring on his meat machine! #today #SleepStudy #SleepApnia at Mt. Auburn Hospital sleep clinic.

Don't threaten me with a good time
