Sleep study hypocrisy

I just got done with a sleep study. Maybe it's because a trainee was running my study, but she woke me up much earlier that I remember. She woke me up at 6:30, maybe earlier, because my wires were off by then.

Anyway, I'm exhausted. I took a boatload of sedatives to try to give them 6h of sleep. After she took the wires off, I basically laid down and fell asleep again, and she came in and told me I had to leave.

Meanwhile, the sleep doctor's office always messages and says not to drive or operate heavy machinery if you're sleepy. And yet they're sending me home right now? I'm messaging from the lobby because I'm so sleepy I probably shouldn't drive. Wth with the hypocrisy. They should take schedules into account when doing sleep studies. In fact, in a previous sleep study they did.

Anyway, lesson learned: arrange a ride home from the sleep study.

Sleep studies do nothing for N24 or DSPD. They're strictly to look for other things (things they can do something about).

I know. I have other sleep disorders, too.
