LAst night was pretty bad. All those wires. I did fall alseep pretty quickly with how tired I was. Unfortunately I sleep on my stomach, so I was woken up and told I could not sleep on my stomach. I guess it interferes with the EKG or something. If I don't sleep on my stomach I usually can only sleep for short intervals. Like I've fallen asleep on my back, but wake up like 20 minutes later. So I slept (very uncomfortably) on my side, and woke up so many times. I had a horrible nights sleep. They finally had me get up at a quarter to 6, and I was so tired. I went home and washed my hair to get the crap out of it and went back to sleep.

So this study was really in n way reflective of how I usually sleep. I really hope I passed, because I cannot do that again. At one point she came in to check my nasal cannula and I really hope something just fell out and that did not mean I stopped breathing or something.

So yeah it sucked and I cannot do that again, so if I did not pass, I will have to talk to the Dr., since it is no way reflective of my true sleep.

Ohhhh Jess, I'm sorry it was so awful for you. Hopefully the Dr will be able to work with you on this one. I didn't care for the nasal thing - I felt like I couldn't catch my breath. I slept very well with the face thing - even though I looked like Hannibal Lector!!

I hope they do take into consideration that we don't always sleep as we do during the test. I took awhile longer to fall asleep with the aparatus on. And, don't normally wake up at 6am! So, we shall see!

Good luck to you!!
