Had sleep study have questions!!!

Good Evening all, I had a sleep study test down on thursday because I am going in for a revision and have had problems with falling asleep during the day. They told me that i never went into rem sleep and that i had different brain waves and i moved my legs alot and woke up a few times kinda explains why i am always tried cause i am never really getting into deep sleep. Did any of you have these signs and end up on a machine. I don't quite breathing but my breathing patterns he said change alot Thanks

Hi Marsha, If you're having a problem going into/or staying in REM sleep, you'll probably end up getting a c-pap machine. I have sleep apnea, and 2-years ago, before my surgery, I needed the machine. After wls, my sleep apnea went from severe to moderate, so I returned the machine (it was a rental, paid for by my insurance company). I lost 130-lbs, and my weight lose stopped, even though I'm about 80-lbs away from weight for my height. It seems that my sleep apnea is giving me problems again. I go into REM sleep once a night, but we're suppose to go into REM between 2 and 4 times. So I sleep for three hours and then I'm up every 90-minutes, or I just never get back to sleep after the first 3-hrs. You have to sleep more then 90-minutes before REM sleep kicks in. I have a combination of - times when I stop breathing and times when the breathing patterns change, I also wake up about 3 to 4 times each night. Signs you're sleep deprived - that you're not getting enough REM sleep - waking up tired, always feeling as if you never get enough sleep, waking up with headaches, falling asleep in the middle of the day, wanting to take naps, poor concentration and feeling delirious (from lack of sleep). If you qualify for the machine, try it. It has help me in the past. I'm getting a new one tomorrow. You'll see change and make you feel like a functioning person again. Good luck Nan
