Sleep Study No 3
« on: 13/12/2006 17:27:20 »
Tomorrow, I have yet another sleep study !

I have to be at the hospital at 9pm and they expect me to be asleep by midnight in the hope that they can monitor my sleep for six hours !!!

In previous sleep studies (at different hospitals) they have allowed me to take sleeping tablets !

..but these people won't this time....

...They don't seem to credit me with my 36 years experience of chronic insomnia that I know what I am talking about that I will not sleep !...my pattern nowadays is that I do not sleep until about 9am !!!....

I am going..and will spend the night hooked up to monitors and stuff !... and yet the premise of the study is to investigate my sleeping pattern !!...do you not see a contradiction here ?

..so...you won't see much of me for the next 48 hours or so !!


Then next Wednesday I have my nasendoscopy which I had to cancel cos I had a cold last time...it's at the same hospital !!...ewe think they could kill two birds with one stone...!!..oh no !!...that would be asking too much !!

We will miss you sorely, but wish you luck as you will need it !  You are not going to sleep for them EH?? Lol LOL! Well Doctors are like that they have to see for themselves that you are not looney!! LOL Well They will just have to take your word for it next time!! At least they are not knocking you out til next week. Although I see you might have preferred to have gotten it all over at one time rather then drawing it out! Maybe it will be a good break for you!! Relax and enjoy all the nursie probing and maybe if your really a good little sheepy and nice nusie might sing you to sleep or give you a nice relaxing massage!!!!!!!LOL LOL Close those peppers and dream.......!!!!LOL  Don't worry Sheepy, Sending lots of Good thoughts your way!!

Thanks Karen Mam.

I just hope they can get some data...I can't cancel...ewe never know..I might actually fall asleep !!

Now that would be silly...if the only way I could get to sleep is by being hooked up to a ton of monitors in a hospital bed !!

Would woo come visit me ? and bring me some grapes !! ?


I have to leave soon, I have a client to see in central London ..oh joy !!

LOL.  They may learn more about you than they expected.  And of course, if they do that, you may actually enjoy this sleep study.  LOL.

I hope you get a nice nursey too, but..... she should be VERY unattractive.  How're you gonna sleep if you're constantly looking at a gorgeous nurse?
