Sleep Study

[mentalistfan 189]

I'm up early so I can sleep tonight for my sleep study...you have to sleep for that lol. This "may" be my last test before surgery. I'm getting things checked off the list pretty quickly! I plan on updating tomorrow on whether I could sleep in front of a stranger!

I had that done before my surgery slept like a baby they just hook you up and leave the room. but oh my god that is the most comfortable dad I have ever slept in in my entire life. Lol

I just had my second sleep study last week. The first time was about 8 years ago and I fell asleep just fine, but sleeping with the mask ... well, I came home and told my husband that hell would freeze over before I could sleep with that mask on. After 8 years of using my CPAP, even for a short nap, I had a heck of a time trying to sleep during the first portion of the test and the minute I got a mask on my face, slept like a baby.

You'll be fine and if you need a CPAP, use it, it becomes a security blanket and you can rest assured you are going to be waking up in the morning! Sleep well!

i had mine a couple weeks ago. it was borderline and i still haven't gotten the official word if i need a cpap or not. i have average 2.3 episodes per hour but during my WHOLE 2 hrs of REM i had 15 during one of the hours. you need to average 5/hr to qualify for cpap...

i am a light sleeper for most of the night because i have small kids constantly moving about, needing the potty, Water, cats chasing each other, etc. i constantly woke during the study because the little camera watching me was moving and i could hear the little motor in it! also they parked me right across from the desk which was ok but i was very conscious of it.

that coupled with the fact that i DO have some level of apnea mean i am seriously sleep deprived.

I'm home"..I did sleep the required time or longer and the tech didn't see any apnea episodes, the Dr. has to look over everything, but it's looking like I'm fine here, thank God!!!
