Seanlandia, training to be an RN, might have sleep apnea, so he went to his local hospital's sleep-disorders clinic, which recommended a night of monitored sleep. He reports on the experience - at the Sheraton Tara Hotel in Framingham, where, it turns out, the hospital has four rooms outfitted with biotelemetry equipment:
... I thought I was a clever patient technician when I mastered the placement of a 12 lead ECG. Well, this kid taped, strapped and glued almost 40 leads on me without blinking an eye. I was impressed. In addition to the get-up which measured the activities of my brain, heart, eyes, jaw, throat, legs, and lungs, there was also a microphone and a night-vision camera pointed at the bed. I tried my best to not handle or scratch at my bits and pieces that night. I didn't want to end up on the sleep center's gag reel at the end of the year.
Miraculously, I fell asleep in minutes ...
Like the job UHub is doing? Consider a contribution. Thanks!

I've had 5 sleep studies. As you can probably guess, I don't get very good sleep :-)
