I'm sleep deprived so this episode may seem backwards and uncouth.

Micro Episode Season 5, Ep 8

Last week's episode, Quantum Division, did something bizarre to my brain. It was almost like a cool electric shock danced through my head making it difficult to sleep.

Due to my sleep apnea and active imagination, sleep doesn't come easy.I envy those people who sleep like a baby.

Are you one of those blessed humans who sleep through the night undisturbed, who wake up in the morning like a viagra commercial?

For me sleep is a battlefield of constant tossing and turning and to make matters worse I have to sleep with a CPAP machine.

Picture Darth Vader, well that's me in a breathing mask. It took me over a year to get used to this contraption.

It was my wife's idea a couple of years ago for me to go to the doctor.She noticed I temporarily stopped breathing while I was asleep.

Doctor told me to make an appointment with the Sleep Clinic, this is a place where you sleep overnight and they monitor your breathing. Sounded strange but I decided to go because it would make for a good story.
