sleep study...aaaaaack!!!!

Ok I'm scheduled for this tonite and have many problems with it and feel like my head is going to explode! I told the doctor that #1. I don't sleep at night (I'm up at night), #2. I don't sleep away from home, if I go on vacation or something...I'm screwed, thankfully I can't afford to go away very often lol. #3. I don't sleep for 6-8 hours at a time. Odd, I know, but I take after my mother in this sense where I sleep for about 4 hours before class (went back to college) and nap later in the day. It works for me even tho its not how its "supposed" to work. I've always been this way. So I get scheduled for a sleep study when I don't sleep anyway...plus the other problems. I don't know what to do! I don't want to spend a sleepless and horribly uncomfortable nite (a time when I'm usually doing homework and studying anyway) laying awake in some strange room. No matter how much I bring from home, it never works to help me sleep anywhere other than home. I'm freaking out about this...I'm ready to call the whole surgery off because I know if I don't hit the stages of sleep that I'll have to redo it. That will make it even worse. HEEEEEEEEEELP!

When I had mine done I was prescribed ambien because I don't sleep at night either. They really cannot do the study if you don't go to sleep so you might want to call your doc and see if you can get a sleeping pill prescribed for tonight.
