Sleep study

I am going for my sleep study tonight. I am sort of nervous, silly huh?? They ordered the kind of study where if I have problems they will go ahead and start the CPAP. I also had my glucose tolerance test done Friday. IT was a 3hr. test. I still am not sure wether I have diabetes or not. The results where Fasting- 130 1 hour- 283 2 hours- 150 3 hours- 70 My PCP son is terminally ill and she took a leave to be with him. So I did not want to bother her. I will wait and see if anyone from the clinic calls me. Tomorrow I am going to quit smoking! I am still trying to decide if I should quit cold turkey or but some patches or something. What do you think? Shelli

Shelli I quit 4 years ago cold turkey... it wasnt easy thats for sure. But I personally think its the best way to do it... If you decide cold turkey go get some Gum hard candies anything to satisfy the oral part of the smoking. and when you feel like you need a smoke walk!!! LOL Good luck, dont worry about the sleep study... all you do is sleep... Debby

Shelli, I quit smoking yesterday! They say the first 3 days are the worst. For me it was the 1st. Today, not so bad. Tomorrow, even better. I can't use a patch or anything else. They don't mix with antidepressants. You can do it as long as you are ready to quit. Michelle

Hi Shelli.Iwent for my sleep study.I had to go back a second time too.Do you have any sleeping pills?Make sure you take them i don't care what they tell you. I maybe slept 1 1/2 hrs the first nite.The second nite i took two ambiean and sleep 7 hrs and was done with my study.I was down to 76 persent oxygen.It is hard to sleep for you now wait tell they hook up 27 probes with wires hanging all over from you.You look like a alien movie or something.All i can say try to relax.

I am worried I will not beable to sleep!! I do not have any sleeping pills, I do have tylenol PM. I guess I could take a couple of those. I am going to try and quit smoking cold turkey. My mom said she has some patches from when she quit so if I need them I will have them. Well see you in the morning!!! Thanks you guys for all your help! Shelli

The sleep study was awful!!! I did not sleep hardly at all. She did say I had some apneas when I finally did get into a good sleep for a short period of time. She did not know what the doctor would reccomend. She said I did not progress through the stages of sleep like I should have, so it is hard to tell. shelli
