It's that time again. Time for the semi-annual post on my blog. So I've decided my new favorite book is "The Promise of Sleep" by William C. Dement. It's such a good book! Four hundred and forty-seven pages of good information about that blissful thing called sleep. I would recommend it to everyone. I went to the sleep doctor a few weeks ago and he said "maybe it's narcolepsy. How do you feel about doing a sleep study?" I said sure, I'm okay with that. He failed to mention it costs a million dollars to do it though. Ok, just $4,000 really, but that's a big chunk of change! I didn't even spend that much on my amazing pots. I would have to pay $1,600 of that. So I said to myself "self, lets try something else first." It would be totally worth the $1,600 if it helped me but in reading my sleep book and learning more about sleep and sleep disorders, including narcolepsy, I don't think that's what I have. And I'd like to try everything that's cheaper first. I think it would have been pretty fun to do the sleep study, just not $1,600 worth of fun. Reading a book I got from the library is free. I still may need to go a doctor again or something since my sleep problem has not been totally solved. But I think I did learn things that were helpful from the book.
P.S. One day when my browser stops crashing every time I try to upload pictures, I'll actually post pictures on my blog. I think it's time to enlist the help of my computer genius brother to help me get my dinosaur computer to go faster and to work right.
