Hehe. I just had to share that I'm going through this weird ordeal....

I refused to do it so I never did. Know of too many people that were told they had sleep apnea and they get a machine and try to use it and it sits in their closet.

The study doesn't work on my because I am nocturnal

I've had 2 different ones. If anything, they're good for a photo op with all the goofy sensors hooked up to you

SERIOUSLY!!!! The sleep study did not go good for me. I could not get comfortable nor could I sleep on my stomach. I'll be curious as to what they say about it. It was not a normal sleep for me.

I did my sleep study last night too!!!

I was the exact same way...couldn't get to sleep and couldn't sleep on my stomach. I tried to get comfy on my side but it just wasn't working for me. (I have never been a back sleeper) I came home so exhausted and slept all morning! I'm sure it was not an accurate test!

I tried to sleep -- strange room, too soft bed, wrong side of bed, all hooked up. They woke me up at midnight to rehook a wire, had to pee at 4 am, woke me up at 5:20 to ask if I wanted to go home or go back to sleep. LOL. They wanted me to come back for a second test. I said no thanks.

I did my sleep study on April 16th, and found out I had moderate to severe apnea. That explains part of why I am so tired and sleepy all the time. I went back on April 29 for a titration sleep study, where they fitted me with a cpap machine. I slept incredibly well that time, unlike the first time when I was awake most of the night. Yesterday I got my own cpap machine and slept with it for the first time last night. I felt pretty well today, and that is so encouraging. I'm really hoping to get a lot of my energy and joy of life back with this contraption.

Anyway...since I've been diagnosed, I can use this as a co-morbidity for my insurance requirement. My BMI is right on the edge, and I haven't been approved by my insurance yet,

I had severe sleep apnea which they found during my sleep study. I needed a bipap machine and I did use it. I had it for after surgery which helped in recovery. That was 1/15 (my surgery) and since then I've lost 80lbs and was able to get off of it! Total NSV for me!
