I’ve always been an insomniac, but recently things have been really bad; So bad that I went to the sleep doctor and was scheduled for the dreaded Sleep Study (cue the spooky sounds and evil laughter.) My appointment is this evening and I’m expecting to be hooked up to electrodes and all manner of strange and uncomfortable medical accoutrements.

For reasons best left to another post, doctors make me nervous and I can’t imagine being able to sleep in any kind of lab environment, but I’ve been sleeping like shit and don’t see any reasonable justification for escape.

Wish me luck.

Update!
Well, that was weird. Yes, there were electrodes and a lot of strange hookups leading to serial port at the head of my postage stamp sized bed. Here’s hoping that the paltry 3 hours of sleep I got was enough for them to suss out my sleep apnea diagnosis.

I wonder if Charlie Kaufman had a sleep study before writing Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. I kept expecting Mark Ruffalo and Kirsten Dunst to run through my bedroom in their skivvies.
