Tired Guy, I do wish you well. Remember not to get too frustrated with yourself if you cannot get to sleep. I can usually fall asleep withing 3 minutes of laying down however it took me approximately an hour and a half of staring at my ET finger and the red glow of the IR camera to finally drift off. Then only to snap right back and think 'Hey... I think I just dozed off!' It was getting frustrating needless to say. Just relax and soon it will be morning. It is a really weird or should I say wired experience though. nothing hurts and truth is its not that uncomfortable. Even though there was a sensor on my upper lip that I could feel the one thing that bothered me the most was that pulse-oximitry thing on my finger. Hope all goes well. Sleep tight!
