I can't nap, and I need one.

Sleep study tonight! I get to try to sleep in a strange room in a strange bed with strange electrodes tapes all over my face. I'm excited, not.

Still no kitten, in case anyone was curious.

The problem with buying a share of a dairy goat herd is that at peak production, the milk share is 2 gallons a week. WTAF am I going to do with all of this milk? There's only so much space in my freezer, and I've run out of it.

Lots of baking? And cereal? Mmm, cereal.

I was really unenthusiastic about the sleep study I had to do. I messed with the sensors because the sticky goo stuff was making it even harder for me to sleep (and they yelled at me and I stopped poking at them). I hope you have a better experience than I did and, barring that, that at least they find out something useful for you.

I'm not sure. I would ask! I was so afraid of getting the sensory things on my legs tangled up that after I finished poking at the things on my face and they went >:| "Do not do that, it messes with our readings and one might come off," I just kind of. Tried to hold really, really still. It was also summer time and so the hospital had the air conditioning on high, but the sleep lab was super cold and so I couldn't stop shivering.

On the plus side, they did figure out a little bit about why I was an insomniac and in what way my brain was broken! It just. Took me a while to get to sleep and was not the most fun of experiences. (Though really, was so much better than some of my other hospital experiences.)

And really, my experience =/= all experiences. My friend with narcolepsy had a very different sleep study experience.

THAT'S THE PROBLEM. I don't drink milk, I eat it in foods. THERE IS ONLY SO MUCH CEREAL I CAN EAT OKAY.

Pee well before you go to bed at the sleep center. If I ever got a sleep study done, my sleep tech would probably murder me for making them attach and reattach all those electrodes. (I usually get a few time to go to the bathroom.)

Sell the milk/ products you make out of it.
