Episode Description:A personal experience with sleep apnea testing at home.

The irony? The equipment meant to measure natural sleep made it impossible to actually sleep. Some reflections on how the act of observation changes what we're trying to observe, and the simple luxury of sleeping without wires attached to your body.
