  You’re in stuffy room tethered to a machine by a million wires everywhere from your knees up and covered in smelly glue and sticky pads.

    What happens if you need to get up to take a piss or shit or get a beer?

      You have to speak to the camera looming above your head, then they’ll come and unplug you.

  My first study was in a sleep lab. It is as you describe. My second study last week was at home in my own bed. The experience was much the same.

    I took an at home study a few months ago and it was just one uncomfortable finger sensor?

      I had that, six sensors on my skull, a nasal air sensor, two leg sensors, a stomach and heart sensor, jaw, chin and eye sensors as well as two chest expansion sensors, all wired to a data logger that was hung around my neck and took as much space as a cat sitting on my chest.

        For me, the machine was on a table beside the bed at least.

      Yea, I did one of those too, but it didn’t pick anything up, so I had to go in.

        I had the same experience, my doctor told me the home ones are often worthless but insurance companies like to make you try them before approving a sleep lab because it’s cheaper.

  I had to have a couple EEGs as a kid. Similar situation, told to sleep with a bunch of sticky pads stuck to my head. Wasn’t too bad as I recall because they had me stay up extra late so I was already really tired and just conked out immediately
