Sleep Study Lab workers: What is the strangest/funniest thing you have witnessed during a sleep study?

1. Not me, but my fiance who is a Registered Polysomnographer. During the hookup of all of the monitoring equipment (wires), dudes robe was wide open and his dick was just hanging out. After the hookup, he asked how to get porn on the lab TV. "I can't sleep if I don't masturbate." She makes good money, but not enough to put up with that shit.

2. Not a worker, but my and my twin brother went into a sleep study. I took a sleeping pill and he did not, but we both dropped into REM sleep at the exact same time. The tech said it was really neat to see and was curious if there was more twin stuff they could study.

3. Had a sleep study done years ago and one of the nurse's told me this story. Apparently a few days prior to my visit, they had a patient who had suffered some sort of brain injury that caused him to projectile vomit in his sleep. They said they found out it starts just as soon as he get into REM sleep for some reason. It had been like three days or so since he had been there and they were still sanitizing the room he was in.

4. Not a sleep lab worker, but had a study conducted in order to see if I had sleep apnea. After my study the sleep tech commented that she noticed that my REM patterns, and I commented that my dreams are often lucid. She quickly started to ask me if I was able to see the future or had psychic abilities. Needless to say, I quickly got my things and left.
