I managed to get my diagnosis for obstructive sleep apnea (moderate) from the at-home monitor.

I thought for sure it was gonna be a bust and that I'd have to go in and get rigged up like some Ghost in the Shell shit, because I remember being awake a lot.

but they got what they needed. I started sleeping much better under treatment (started like 6 weeks ago). it's been a dramatic shift for me. I feel more awake and seem to have better recall, I'm more positive/less irritable, make better/healthier decisions early in the morning, I think I'm losing weight and my resting BP has gone down.

a good night's sleep is the realist shit.

the older I get, the more the basics seem to be critical: eat fiber, stretch, walk like 15-20 mins, and get a good night's sleep. I'm not an athlete, but when I do those things I feel pretty good. that's an everyday layup I can go for.

I don't understand how that works anyway cuz how are you supposed to sleep when you're being studied by medical equipment...

They have you hooked up with like 50 wires and they’re all uncomfortable, plus they put a thing up your nose

They don't give you like sleeping pills for that?

no, gonna guess that the logic is they wouldn’t be able to tell if any symptoms are reactions to the medicine or otherwise

though it’s already complicated by the fact that I didn’t fucking sleep sleepless

TIL, makes sense though, sorry it turned out that way. I'd be in the same situation, I can't sleep unless I take my nighttime meds which would probably disqualify me.
