I was recently tested to see if I had sleep apnea. Sleep disturbances can be serious, but my night in a “sleep lab” had a few lighter moments.
Before leaving that evening, Mary Ellen helped me pack a few things we thought were important to take with me, such as extra underwear, a toothbrush, glasses, and a good book. She also suggested I take my own pillow, just to make my experience feel more like home.
