Sleep Study?

[nutmeg]

Anyone ever done one of these? I'm scheduled for one next week.

I imagine I will find it difficult to sleep at he hospital knowing someone is watching me and hooked up to all that stuff.

Anybody have any experience with this? What was it like???

Massachusetts General is having one of those up here and I thought about doing it. I would like to know what people think of this question too.

I think so. They have three night visits and five visits to see what's wrong with a person.

I thought I'd find it difficult to sleep too but I didn't. I was in a room kinda like a hotel room. I could watch tv until I was tired enough to sleep. Since I didn't really see the cameras I think that made it easy. The wires took a little getting used to.

I've had 2 sleep studies, with similar experiences. It's awkward to have all the wires hooked to you, but other than that, it's like a little hotel room. I didn't sleep much at all - I don't know how they got any info about my sleep apnea, but apparently they did. It's not horrible, and doesn't really feel like someone's watching you, but it's certainly not a restful night either.

It was worth it, to get diagnosed and get treatment for my sleep apnea.

Good luck!

I got very specific instructions regarding the type of sleepwear required

[Cubbie Bear]

Did it twice and now have a treatment for my apnea. I've been throughworse, the wires made it hard to get comfortable

[Carolinadreamin']

So is everyone with sleep apnea using a CPAP machine? Or have you checked out alternative treatments?

[rednekkPH]

I've been through 2 of them. The studies themselves sukk, but I couldn't be happier with the results. I never realized how tired I was until I actually started getting some good sleep. If you have any specific questions, feel free to ask.

Exactly! you wont get a lot of sleep during the studies, too many wires and probes. Not painful, just annoying. But within 2-3 nights of my cpap I could not believe how great I felt. It is definately worth it.
