What would you do for $50??

So I'm at the doc and they say..."Hey, are you interested in participating in our sleep apnea study? You have to wear a sleep pack tonight and once again in 5 months. But every time you wear it you get $50." Apparently I am eligible for the study (requirements unknown to me..as far as I know I do not have sleep apnea), and the results will be used to study possible correlation between oxygen levels during sleep and pregnancy complications. Sounds like a good cause to me! Of course I jumped right on it and agreed to participate.

It took a good 20 minutes for me to get all wired up. I had straps and cords and suction cups all over the place. Andy was kind enough to snap these photos of me before hopping into bed...

I imagine the pics when I have to do it again 5 months from now will be even more entertaining...

I fell asleep surprisingly easily considering the large battery pack on my ribcage. The worst part was definitely the prongs up my nose! And I made my finger monitor too tight so by morning my finger was pretty sore. Anyway, I hope they got some good info from me! :P

Way to disclose, Linds.

I expected something a little more in-your-face, though.

Regardless, congrats on the $50!

I had to do that a few years ago. So much fun!
