imagine my disappointment

when receiving the response below

after volunteering for a study

that i was born to

  training for this my whole life

i am a natural

this is my skill set

 known to fall asleep literally anywhere at any time

regardless of what is going on around me

especially within minutes of being seated

as a passenger in any moving vehicle

who gets a rejection letter from the circadian research lab?!

  2. So, as you may know, I’m a sleep tech. Can’t help but ask – have you ever been evaluated for Sleep Apnea? Narcolepsy? There is a “test” you can take online – the Epworth Sleepiness Scale. Take it and let me know what your score is – you may need a sleep study.

    Ok, taking my professional hat off now….

  14. Hahahaha!! This is hilarious. I thought the email must be an elaborate joke at first, especially as the dog photo was already worthy of a post.

    I can’t even imagine how painless journeys must be for you!

  15. First, I love that adorable pic. Second, yes, I do think you need to follow up with a sleep study. My husband (and nearly all of his siblings) have sleep apnea. A sleep apnea machine has helped him a lot with the falling asleep during the day issue. But he still has the ability to easily nap. Since he is typically awake by 5:30 am and is working 10-hour days, I understand his exhaustion.
