Sleep Study

Greetings All, I had sleep study last night, at smithfield sleep center, i got all hooked up like a robot and only slept 1  1/2 hrs,  the tech said i slept, 2,3 stage sleep, i hope that will do, i can't sleep in strange places, i need to start to getting focused on changes in my mind set, but i guess i have to wait to see Dr.Sax before we go forward, i am having RNY, i need to dump my bad habits soon  and get my head in the right place, football is in full swing and my team is 2-3 not bad ,since we play teams like edgewood, and mount hope, youth league!! any insite into what everybodys sleep study was like ?? GO PATS !!!

did they hook up to a sleep apnea mask,  if not then you will most likely be going back. I needed 2 sleep studies one with the mask and one with out mask.

no mask, ?? they said i slept >>???? i guess i'll be doing it again ?? i wish they can do it at my house ??

It was a good setting,they try to make you feel comfy but, it is not my bed !! i hope they got what they needed

I had my sleep study on a sat. night in Johnston, which is right across from a busy fire station. so i also slept like 1-2 hours.

hey BigRhody!  I had the sleep study too.  I did not have a mask.  I believe that if you showed signs of sleep apnea at your first nap, then they make you come back and then they put the mask on you.  They called me and told me I do not have sleep apnea (Yeah), so i did  not have to go back.  You will just have to wait for the results to see whats next.   
I had a hard time falling asleep too.  Its not easy to sleep when you are so wired up for sound.  I move alot and couldn't do that.  The worst part was having to go to the bathroom.  I had to walk to the other side of the hallway with all this attached.  Then when i went to wash my hands the wire connector fell in the sink.  I was afraid i was going to get electricuted LOL.    I am glad I don't have to do that again.  Actually, I have found the endoscopy to be the easiest thing i had to do yet!  Good luck to you!   I hope the Pats starting working better together!  My husband is starting to giving me a hard time about them

Rhody ~ Hello.  I had to do the sleep study too.  Agree, it is hard to sleep when out of our own elements.  I didn't get much sleep my first night of the sleep study either.  In the morning, the tech was able to tell me I would need to return to be fit for the mask.  Guess he was able to identify my sleep apnea during my brief spurts of sleep.
When they contacted me to schedule the second night of the sleep study to fit the mask, they said to get the best fit/pressure settings I would need to get more sleep.  So it was Ambien for me.  It did allow me to get the needed sleep.
Will hope that you don't have to return, meaning no sleep apnea and no CPAP.  But the Ambien or an OTC sleep med might be an option for you, just check it out beforehand with your primary doc.
Good luck to you and your football team.
