I fully understand half-asleep. One of my kids was up with an upset stomach last night. My fitbit thinks I have two different sleep periods (and is very confused what to do about it). I share similar thoughts. 
Ahh, yeah, for load testing those are handy. If you’re electronically enclined, they’re pretty easy to make with an N-channel MOSFET and a few resistors. You may need to sacrifice a USB cable to make it, but they’re pretty easy devices.
I’ve been looking for a device that would let me monitor a USB-C connection and this device might do the trick. If it has a way to (or can be modified to) let me tap into the CC lines, it would do all I want.
