Sleep Test Cancelled

This is the way I sleep - mouth wide open and big schnoz 

By me that is.  During my visit to my cardiologist last week he suggested that I take a sleep test.  I had mentioned to him that it was reported that I sometimes struggle for breath when I'm sleeping.  At least that's what I was told by my occasional bed partner a couple of weeks ago.  For years I've slept by myself but I had the good fortune a few weeks ago (no details of who, when or where) and shared my slumber time with a dear and close friend.  I think he said I was catching my breath when I slept.  At least that's what I think he said.  No matter though, I just didn't feel right about undergoing a sleep test for possible sleep apnea.  I couldn't sleep with one of those apparatuses on my head and I'm pretty sure I couldn't even go to sleep with a sleep test.  At least not now.  Maybe later.  Right now my main problem seems to be the frequent bouts of light headeness that feels like a mini-high.  That may be attributable to my extra heartbeat which was detected a couple of years ago.  I'm still ticking but just in case I am taking another stress test.  Something to which I am not looking forward to but I will take it. 

And the beat continues.

Some people can sleep anywhere
