Will I ever fall asleep for my sleep study tonight?

I have been having trouble sleeping anyway so I got something to try the last two nights and it did not work.  I took5mg of flexeril and 2mg lunesta (hours later when still awake).

I have to fall asleep all hooked up and the last time it took me hours.  The stuff all over my body really bothers me and the knowing the tech (which is a man) is having to watch me on video all night bugs me too.

My sleep apnea is my comorbid so I need to fail the test too:)

 

 

well dont relax during the day ! gently exercise !! and eat a whole PIZZA beforehand ... REALLY helps with the snoring ( I kid U not ) . If youre shameless feel free to drink beer with it

Yeah ... binge away Baybee ..Ull be choppin' wood in no time flat ...

Hi there! Well first off I hope you fail the test! But seriously I don't know that maybe a drug may alter the test so get advice from the doctor on that. Also what helps me sleep is a boring book to read maybe one you already have read or like when we were kids try saying " I will stay awake till Santa gets here tonight". Always worked for me! Good luck ......... Jeff

I had one and from what I know taking something beforehand is fine. I usually take Ambien, and my doctor told me I should take it that night too, so I brought it with me to the test.

That being said, it sucks. I got there about 9 pm, got everything attached to me by about 9:30 and then watched TV and such until trying to go to bed at 11. I barely slept and it was awkward seeing the camera, but trust me when I say that the techs have better things to do than try to see your special bits, haha. They are alerted if something goes wonky, but I'm sure they get bored looking at sleeping people all night.

You will do fine!!

Sleep apnea was my comorbidity too. I was so afraid that I wouldn't fall asleep, felt like I laid there for HOURS. When he gave me my report, said that I fell asleep in 12 minutes!!  Sheesh...well, it felt like hours anyway.

I also fluffed up my pillows to make sure that I stayed on my back and I wore my mouth nightguard which really makes me sound like a piggy!!   Results was positional apnea...which was enough to push me over the edge!

Try not to focus on it and I'm sure you will do well. Agree with Ava...eat a big big meal first.

It is going to be a long night if my bladder does not stop hurting so much!  I have Ic (interstitial cystitis) and am having a major flare up with my pain.  At least by this time tomorrow, the test will be over!

Hope you fail, gosh that sounds bad but you know what I mean.

I thought, there is no way I can sleep with all this stuff and I went right to sleep and slept straight through until they woke me up.  Except for all the times I stopped breathing of course.  But I never knew it. 

Well, I called the lab and asked them what to do because my Interstitial cystitis is so flared up, I will be up so many times in the night!  Prelief helps and no one has it so they are ordering it for me and I am to call tomorrow and see when I can get back in.  I hope soon!!

I'm sorry you had to reschedule but it's best to get that cleared up first.
