I am finaly at the stage where I am going to have my sleep study next week...this is making me freak out just a bit! I am worried that I won't be able to fall asleep, or that I'll do something "weird" in my sleep, or that I will find out I have horrible sleep apnea....who had to do a sleep study and how did it go? Any pointers?

Thanks in advance =)

I had to do one a few years ago and I failed because I only slept for 20 minuts in the 6 hours I was there. My surgeon wants me to get another one done. I hope my insurance will pay for the home study because I can't sleep in strange places

Thanks for everyone's support. My sleep study did indeed suck and it turns out I have SEVERE sleep apnea. You can read all about it if you choose on my blog.

Going one step at a time...

I'm happy i didn't have sleep apnea, but the tech said it was very entertaining watching me sleep o_O well, turns out I'm a kicker, lol. He said i look like i was doing aerobics, i should weigh 10lbs at the rate i was going! I did the home one & it makes sense why it was all jacked up, lol....

I had my sleep study last night. It was awful. They tech said I appear to have sleep apnea so I'm waiting to hear what's next. I am feeling pretty low about myself but also Wang it all to change

Awe! I know it's hard. Hang in there though k?

I just went for a sleep test last night and failed miserably. I'm a stomach sleeper, so sleeping in a strange bed hooked up to tons of wires and being told to sleep on my back did not work well for me. I didn't spend enough time sleeping on my back for them to get sufficient results. Waiting to talk to my doctor this morning to find out what to do next

I have a sleep study scheduled for next Tuesday, after doing a nocturnal pulse ox last week that showed I have some degree of sleep apnea. I have so much trouble sleeping in the first place! Will have to see if I can take a sleeping pill.

They let me take my tylenol pm that I normally take
