Todd Bartlett and Sleep Clinic

May 26, 1999

Dear Todd I was to a sleep clinic about 2 months ago its nothing to be

scared of no pain involved at least not for me personally. You must be

in bed for at least 6 hours and I was able to watch TV or read or snack.

I was given choice of drink in night and in morning.You can take a

favorite pillow and I wished I would of had my blanet which is ok to

take also. I was a bit chilly or the bed weight of blanets was off. I

was in a private room and a visitor can stay awhile and no one watches

you it's all read on computers by a person who sits up with you in an

other room all night . I had a baby monitor in my room so I could ask

the time or get help getting up to potty. I takes an hour to attach a

mess of wires to you and they tape a small light to a finger to read

oxygen intake.You wear two belts around body.I was gotten up at 6:30 in

morning to get ready to go home.It does help to take your bed partner

because they will ask you apanel of questions and some can be answered

easier for the person who sleeps with you. In the morning your hair will

look and feel horrible and will take several wahings to remove glue out

of hair. They stick probes on scalp and you may have suck looking marks

on neck and face from the round things they stick on your neck and face

to hook wires into. We went out to breakfast in morning after sleep

study and I had no idea what I looked like until I got home. It looked

like I had a real ruff night. And we had an overly old cheerful waitress

who even asked us if we were new in town. We live only 10 minutes away.

I was a real grump next morning . What more are you concerned about. Ask

me and if I know I will answer.Jeanie Stout
