Okay, can we talk about how confusing weight loss has become?

I am wondering, I am curious of what the record is and how close I got to it,
and we're talking about sleeping. Okay, now I, it teased me about being like a cat in a, you know, a sunny window where I curl up and I can sleep. Well, this is cheap and tired. Yeah, I'm cheap and tired. I am cheap and tired. Save that. But not cheap in that window. So anyway, so I, uh, I love to sleep. I'm, I can sleep and, um, I don't get enough at night, but boy in the afternoon, so I make up for it. But no, when I, um, was a teenager, I was one of those that like any teenager I would sleep until early afternoon. But then when I became an adult, I actually got out of that and I, you know, a morning person, everything, but then when I got sick and I was on dialysis that in warming out, I started taking like four hour naps in the afternoon, only because I had to. That's the only way I could get my energy back. So when I got my kidney transplant, I only cut that in half, even though I probably don't need an app anymore, but I sleep a couple hours and after never, you know, every day. So they give me a hard, two or three hours in the afternoon. Two hours in the afternoon. Yeah. So these guys give me a hard time about that for loving to sleep. But I outdid myself, even outdid the teenager part of myself,
when I got back from L.A. Well, we were in Emilia Island. So we were, of course, also establishing L.A. You were working 18 hours a day. I think this is totally contributed to that. And that's why I allowed myself to do this. Yeah, because I had told these guys, there was, you know, some, there's a lot of events that Fox was so awesome to us in L.A. And a lot of events going on and there were times where, you know, I had told Jeff, Jeff or Bert, one of you, I said, it was a immune system maintenance where I had to go, you know, kind of excuse myself and crash and come back because, you know, for me, my immune system is lower than most because of the medicines I take for the transplant. So I always have to keep an eye on if I get too tired. If I'm too, you know, too cold or too this, I just going to make sure that I kind of keep a self-check and take care of myself. And if I feel myself getting too tired or whatever, then I need to excuse myself, take care of that, take a quick nap, come back, be good. So I don't have the endurance that a lot of people have. And so knowing this when we got back from L.A. It was a Thursday when we all were leaving, you know, the American Idol stuff and going up to our vacations from Memorial Day,
I actually flew from L.A. to Jacksonville and met Katie at Amelia Island where she had a work event over the weekend. So she's like, you know, what, why'd you just come with me? Stay at the place we're at and then, you know, just we'll have the weekend there. So she was already at her conference by the time I came in and the plan was I go in, I just go into where we were staying and I just go straight to bed. And then when she got back from the conference, we'd wake up and we'd have the rest of the day. Fine. Did you fly just some technical questions in case Ganes asks for the record? Did you read? I did read. I did sleep on the plane. No, I'm not good at sleeping on planes. I dosed, but let's say if I slept on the plane, it was maybe 10 minutes, 15 minutes at a time. And even that's probably a light sleep, where you can still hear everything go on, but you're technically asleep. A jerk and I wake back up. And I do take Xanax on flights, but by the time I got to Jacksonville, the Xanax would have worn off. But there's a little medication in my system. This was like the perfect storm. You work in 18 hours. You got the Xanax that's wearing off. It is time for Melissa to be 16 again. So I and I tried to time this. So I get to the place
we were staying at 10, let's say 10 o'clock in the morning. So 10 a.m. on Friday, I'm in bed. Okay. And I don't get out of bed until noon on Saturday. What? 10 a.m. with and I and taken hour out of that for eating. So when Katie came in from the conference and she woke up and ate and went back to bed. Yes. I woke up and ate, went back to bed. Then her and the other people were hanging out with. They went out, came back in. I got up and ate again and went back to bed. 26 hours. Yes. 26 hours of sleep. If I got 26 hours of sleep, I'd be six foot three. So I say, one or one to two hours take away from that for the eating. Wow. But I slept. How do you physically do that time? Wow. I laid there and slept. You have Wendy? You got longer than that. About the same. You're going to break my. What is? Well, it's about the same time. I can. Yeah. I don't know. It was when I was a teenager, I guess. No, it doesn't count.
It was pretty long time. It was when I was vacationing in Florida. I went to sleep. I went to sleep around three p.m. because just taken an app. I didn't wake up until the next day at three p.m. So I slept for a full 24 hours. And I thought it was the same day when asking where my lunch was. Why wasn't like waking up hours of sleep? Yeah. High school and college stuff doesn't count. I don't think you would think that your body would wake you up for food more than once. You just woke up. To me, it would be to pee. I can't even get through. Yeah. Do you pee the bed? I don't know. Do you pee the bed? I did not pee the bed. No, too. I was probably dehydrated from the flight. So yeah, that's probably it. But I, yeah, the only reason I woke up is because Katie came in. So the first time Katie came in from the conference, she kind of, it jostled me up. And so I said, well, since I'm up, let me get something to eat because I was hungry. It went right back to sleep. And the only reason I woke up the second time is because Katie came, it was like midnight. Katie came in and are you still asleep? Did you jostled me up? Wow. And I ate and went back to sleep. When you woke up, did you feel like you could just conquer the world? Or are you still tired? Like it was almost a jet like thing? I felt normal.
Like I woke up the next morning. I was like, okay, I'm good. And then everybody's like, all right, well, Miss. I was back. Hibernating. Come on. That's like that. Move your weight. Great. Yeah. Did you get up and you're like, is Obama still president? Wait, yeah, we are. They're flying cars. Yeah. How's President Reagan doing? But yeah, so what? Yeah, 26 hours. See, here's what would have happened to me, which is what I'm fascinated by because like if you crash the whole day, I would wake up. Like, let's say I'm this tired as I could be. So I sleep eight hours. That wakes me up at six or seven p.m. At that point, I think my brain takes over and it's like, dude, you just jacked yourself up. You ain't going to be my brain. We'll taunt the rest of my body. You ain't going to be able to sleep tonight. You lose her. And then I would be too stressed to fall back asleep. And then it's like, is that what your inner voice is? Yeah, it's just like, yeah, you ain't going to be able to sleep tonight. No, no, no, no.
