I'm going in for a sleep study to try to figure out why I have sleep aggression. Basically, I'm a fouled mouth jerk in my sleep. My wife didnt tell me that I've been this way for the past 3 years. It wasn't until it got really bad in the last 4 - 6 months that she's talked to me about it.
My doc had 2 theories: it's either non-REM apnea related or REM neurological related. So I'm kind of hoping a CPAP is in my future rather than brain meds.
I'm reading through my sleep center instructions. This **** is funny.
#3. Please shampoo your hair 12-24 hours prior to your study. Avoid hair sprays, oils, hair tonics, or back combing.
WTF is "back combing"? I'm a hairy guy, but I've never felt the urge to comb my back.
#7. ... Two piece pajamas and underpants are necessary as the technicians will be applying approximately 30 sensors to your body and face.
Only 30 sensors? I'm sure I'll sleep fabulously.
#9. Please do not take your sleeping medication until after the technician has prepared you for the study.
Since I'm interactive, I don't get the sleep medication. And since I apparently hate being touched in my sleep, I'm imagining them poking me with a stick all night.
