Tuesday, July 12, 2005 You have to get up pretty early in the morning
One of the key risks the designers of my sleep study forgot to outline was the risk of them filling my newly colored hair with some sort of horrible goo meant to hold the monitoring devices attached to my head in place while I slept. Why, science? Why monitor my hair? I had to come back home and wash it, because they do not provide color protective shampoo at the research facility. I was like, what is this, Calcutta?
Then it turns out I forgot my keys, so I had to ring the doorbell to my home until the summer dog had an aneurysm, which meant that his owner came blearily downstairs and let me in a few minutes after seven. Surprise! Good morning. No one here is allowed to sleep.
I tried to covertly take a photo of myself with all the wires attached, before I was plugged into the necessary machines, but I didn't frame it right, and it just looks like I have tape on my face, which was true, but only half the story.
The funny thing is, I feel fine. Rested, even. The researcher got excited about how early I was willing to try and sleep. I told him that luckily for science, I was running on a deficit. You think about a hundred wires and a mask and belts can stop me from sleeping when I'm tired? Oh, science. You are the living end.
The best/most awkward moment was when after I was hooked into the machine, I couldn't reach down to the end of the bed for the blanket, and the researcher tucked me in. What does one say to someone after that? posted by Frenz | 7/12/2005 08:07:00 AM
