Nytol Will Help You Get Your ZZZ's.

Friday night I went in for my sleep study to see if I have sleep apnea. The sleep clinic here in Tulsa is awesome. The staff seemed really nice. My technician (nurse) for the night had just had gastric bypass surgery 7 months ago and had lost 107 lbs. I thought that was awesome. I believe her name was Tammie and she did everything in her power to assure me that I am doing the right thing.

Okay, so for the study they make you sit in this bedroom and watch t.v. for about an hour so you can calm down and get in sleep mode.I watched 'Cher's farewell Tour' and VH1's 'Best Week Ever'. Then the nurse comes in and puts all these electrodes all over my head. I have a head full of really long hair, so that was no easy task. Then they had me get in bed and get comfortable and go to sleep. Hello...I have fifty billion electrodes in my hair...how in the hell am I suppose to be comfortable? Well eventually I did fall asleep. About half way through the night they came and hooked me up to a CPAP machine, because of course like most other fat people, I have sleep apnea. The mask they had me wear sucked ass. I am not going to lie to you, it's not a pleasant thing. I mean it's just odd to sleep with something covering your nose and I could hear the air circulating in the mask. I am a side or stomach sleeper, so every time I would move to my side that would create an air pocket in the mask and you could hear the air just pushing it's way out. It was annoying. But somehow I fell asleep. About 5:30 in the morning Tammie came and woke me up pulled all of the electrodes out of my hair and I went home. I will say the bed they have in the room is the most comfy bed ever!

So I am sure my sleep apnea is weight related, just like everything else. I am sure once I lose some poundage it will go away. But because I have it now, Tammie said they will probably put me in ICU after surgery just to make sure everything is okay. She said that is a good thing though, because they spoil you like rotten. YAY!!!
