I can't afford a new laptop right now but my mom has her old laptop just sitting unused in my childhood home. How much power does watching movies/series from dvd require?

And if I were to find a dvd player/"station" with burning abilities, how hard would that be on the laptop?

It is a bit slow but functional laptop currently running Linux. I think she bought it from her work maybe five years ago since they were getting rid of stuff

My mum says "of course they are trying to sell you glasses" so maybe it is fine to be without since I never get headaches?

This is what they wrote (thanks Google translate):

Refractive error determination Objective refraction Autorefraction: OD sf: +0.50; cyl: -0.25; ax: 1°; Additional information about refraction: skiavisus 0.16 OS sf: +1.25; cyl: -0.25; ax: 151°; Additional information about refraction: skiavisus 0.16 Refractive error determination Subjective refraction Refraction:OD sf: +0.50; cyl: -0.25; ax: 180°; Visual acuity far (V): 1.00; OS sf: +1.00; cyl: -0.50; ax: 155°; Visual acuity far (V): 1.00;

These numbers are from last autumn and I don't know how fast sight can change. I can not for the life of me make sense of these numbers, even though I tried googling them to my best ability:'D

I... I want to print them out and put them up on my walls... because on top of being an angel amongst all, he is pretty to look at XD

The sillier, the better!

(...I won't be mad if you also include Aziraphale, Rose or Donna:D)

I had my PSG+MSLT this tuesday-wednesday so I decided to try to not nap on tuesday. I was confused because I was not really sleepy that day. It was not that hard. Then I had my sleep study the following night and day. I felt surprisingly fine. I had been expecting way worse.

The most annoying thing was that they woke me up from naps by lighting up the room with two of the brightest lights known to man. They were the size of a seiling panel and of course one right over my bed.

Between naps I went outside three times and just walked around the hospital. The rest of the time I was just in my room reading, coloring and doing word puzzles on a booklet I had with me. I went to the bathroom a thousand times because I was bored and wanted an excuse to go out of the room lmao

The devices weren't as bad as I expected either. The oxygen meter on my finger was slightly annoying in the dark because it had a red light in it. The electrodes were just taped on and they took everything except EEG and EKG electrodes off for the day. The wires didn't restrict my sleeping that much either. They were kinda annoying during wake-time though.

The worst part was when the nurse was gluing the electrodes on and had to scratch my skin with a cotton swab dipped into something that felt like sand paper. It felt almost like burning for a second. She scratched my upper EKG on my collar bone pretty hard, it was hurting for a couple of hours after and every time I/the nurses had to press on it. I also felt the scratch sting a little when I got to remove the electrode afterwards. Luckily not nothing worse.

The electrodes in my hair weren't as bad of an sensory nightmare as they could've been. They were just plastered on with gauze and a white paste that dried hard.

I think the net hat meant to keep everything in place was my savior, it nicely kept my hair of my face. It was like a wig cap with a chin strap. Not very stylish but extremely effective. Everything stayed on the whole time, even when I sometimes snagged the wires. The wires were all wrapped up in gauze and when I was not sleeping (and not connected) the ends were stuffed in a rubber glove and taped on my shoulder. I must have looked crazy walking around in the hospital pj's and all of that on me:D

I might have fallen asleep on all of the naps but I am not sure. Either I slept in all of them or I slept in none of them. I saw a lot of short clips and flashes of some bizarre stuff happening during all of them (it was like watching those poorly edited youtube videos someone made in 2010. Or some fckd up AI-slop videos. Things morphing into something else and strange, nonsensical stuff happening. The type of videos youtube recommends you at 3 am and you just watch and have no idea what the heck is going on lmao)

Still don't know if they were actually dreams or just my imagination. I was always at least slightly aware of were I was. I'll have to wait till june to hear my results.

Now, the day after the test I have had zero naps. I slept ten hours last night and now I have been awake for 15 hours straight. This is making me doubt myself. Maybe I'll be fine and normal from now on??
