I got there on time, but some guy before me had ordered some equipment and was standing at the counter arguing with the lady for over an hour. He insisted that she shred his credit card information and form that he filled out, then hand him the shreddings. :confused1:

After another 30 minutes of her calling the boss to cover her ass, I finally got into my "room" and hooked up. When they say "like a hotel room", it's just a bed, TV and fan. Their satellite didn't work, so when I tried changing the channel it said "updating from satellite" forever. So no TV for me. There was a shower down the hall, but it was really gross so I didn't bother.

The hookup process took 30 minutes, and involved her putting some medical goo all over my face and hair, then attaching about 50 electrodes. They measure your head, and put little X's all over it like a treasure map. Some are stuck right next to your eye, so you can't sleep on that side or it pokes you in the eyeball when you lay on your side.

Once done, I was laid in bed and couldn't do squat except sleep. It's like being in a full body cast... :scared0: She jacked the fan on HIGH and turned the light off before leaving. It was colder than a freezer in the room, which was awesome. I'm sure the 3 other fat guys taking the study next to me were happy too (it's hot outside).

Of course, I can't sleep with all this sh*t on me. Especially the one covering my nose. This study is supposed to determine if I have trouble breathing, but then they have this huge device right under your nose. NOW I HAVE TROUBLE BREATHING, THANKS. My big wad of wires kept getting disconnected, so they came in several times to fix it.

They poked me awake at 5am (on a Sunday, ugh) and removed all the electrodes, leaving this sticky medical goo all over my face and head. Plus my forehead now looks like a pirate's hidden treasure map. I had to fill out five forms asking if I snored (how am I supposed to know?) and such, then left.

LOL sleep studies are interesting ha? I had mine 8 years ago and i only slept 77 minutes total, cause of all the sh_t on me like you stated. oh well that was enough time forthem to diagnose me with sleep apnea. some of the questions they are -do you snore, are really for your partner to be able to answer......keep jumping the hurdles, cause that is just one day closer to getting it approved good luck to you

That is so funny it sounds like my sleep study only the place I had it at was very nice room with atttached bathroom and shower. It was just like a hotel they gave juice and snack. I had to go back for a 2nd night because I did not sleep long enough the 1st nigth. It was oh so much fun.
