of waking up tired. So I headed down to my friendly neighborhood sleep lab for a sleep study. Hi Sam!
|
This is MY room. Right by the desk. Bright florescent lights were bugging me, so I turned them off and entertained myself doing self portraits with my bike lights.
|
Shut the door and did some long exposures using the red and white lights. Ooooh. Moody!
|
Ready for my close up. After wiring us up, Kevin and Sam monitor us all night, which includes listening to the sounds of 6 strangers sleeping. Can you imagine? A couple were already in their beds when they wired me, and I could hear the amplified breathing. It was like a bad dream.

Soap Opera Star. Here I'm playing the duped wife with the incurable disease in one of those hospital dramas. My husband/doctor is actually sleeping with the head nurse.
|
I think this is a great look for me. Once I was plugged in to the machines in my room, I couldn't get up anymore unless they came in and unplugged me. I asked - via the intercom - for a glass of water. I called Kevin back for an extra pillow. I could hear sounds from the other room, so I asked for earplugs. After that, I noticed there was too much light in the room, so I asked them to close the blinds better. I was thinking of asking for a cookie or a story, but I think I'd pushed the limits, so I kept quiet after that.

No continental breakfast at the sleep lab. Not even a cup of coffee. I had fantasies of getting up in the morning and going out for breakfast in kensington market. But at 6:30 on a Saturday morning, the market still belongs to strung out ravers and drug addicts.

Wow. Great set. I have no idea how you got any sleep while wearing all that hardware.

I have that same sleep problem, but not as bad as yours as it's only one cat! These are awesome! Never thought of using my bike lights as lighting. I love your soap opera pic.

Great series. Sometimes reality makes the best art. Perhaps you can bring the cats to the sleep lab next time?
