Sleep Study Last Night

I personally do not know why they call it a "sleep" study, after they hooked me up to the 29 wires and I got situated in bed, I could not go to sleep, one wire was pulling my under my eye, the nasal cannula kept poking my nose, I got tangled trying to turn over, then one of my leg wires got under neither me and I almost pulled it off, OUCH!!!  Finally feel asleep at 3ish and got woke up at 5:20.  WOW, this is going to be a very long day at work.  Oh also I have to repeat the "sleep" study because I was not asleep long enough for a good test.  SO EXCITED!!  Hope you all had a better night sleep, come on 4:30!!!!!

I guess I can fall asleep any where. Staying asleep is the problem. I did another sleep study in Lewisburg back in early summer to see if I need to adjust my machine and sure enough I needed to double my air flow. Now I sleep a lot better.

Hope 4:30 comes soon.

It is no fun. Are you allowed to take a sleep aide?

I was not last night, but when I re do it, I am going to ask for something. 

I had no problem falling asleep when I did mine but they woke me up about 90 minutes in and put me right on a cpap machine.  Yes it was that bad.

I am not sure what my deal was, I am used to having a bed buddy + I was cold.  I know excuses, excuses, LOL!!! 

Its a miserable test - all that gunk in your hair and on your face - wires everywhere - luckily I didn't have a problem falling asleep but unfortunately I get up several times a night to potty (still do) so every time I had to go I had to get the techs to unhook me - what a pain!!

The second time I went in they did the C-Pap but I fell asleep so fast they had to wake me up to put it on - LOL!! My head hits the pillow pretty much wherever I am and I'm out.

Hopefully next time it will go better...and just think, once the weight is off you never have to do it again! Woo-hoo!!

I AM FADING FAST!!!, if one more person tells me I don't look good, I am going to scream.

I would not have any trouble falling asleep now, why can't I just go back RIGHT NOW, OHHH SLEEP!!!

I am looking forward to never having to do that, again!!!  Thanks for the response!!

I was lucky and had both of mine on a Friday night so didn't have to worry about work the next day - besides after they took all those probes off my head and face my hair stuck out all over and took me forever to shampoo out...ick

I drove to work and slept in the parking lot until I had to go to work. I set my alarm for 7:50am, and woke to my face stuck to the pillow, I guess when I showered at 5:30, I was not aware of the tape stuck all over my face!!!  I had a good little laugh.  And for the hair I look like I have not showered in weeks, GROSS!!!  I love this website, it is good to know you are not alone!!
