Paul Balcerak has always had trouble sleeping. His wife him he snores a lot and gasps for breath occasionally.
If you don’t know Paul, you can watch him sleep on Thursday.
The Ballard resident will be a sleep study subject on Thursday at the Swedish Medical Center’s Sleep Medicine Associates.
Doctors and sleep specialists will analyze Balcerak’s sleep patterns to determine if his condition requires treatment.
Viewers will be able to observe technicians as they analyze Balcerak’s sleep behavior, and they can even direct their questions and comments on the lab’s profile on Twitter.
“It’s definitely a little weird,” describes Balcerak about the set up. “I mean, I volunteered — so I can’t say I’m too weirded out by it.”
He continues: “To tell you the truth, the whole social media aspect of it is pretty cool.”
A spokesperson for Sleep Medicine Associates explained, “It’s a public health issue that really doesn’t get as much attention as it deserves. Sleep disorders are a little more serious than just snoring.”
