sleep study at home

Had my pre op sleep study at home last night!!! It was horrible I woke up 3x without the nose things in and woke up a 4th time to myself ripping everything off!!! I can't sleep with anything on me! I hope this doesn't screw things up!!! I sleep fine I know I have no issues but I don't think the doctor believes me!!

try, if you can, not to be resistant to the test. i thought i slept fine too, until i had a sleep study (done in the hospital) and found i had severe obstructive apnea. i had a lot of trouble getting used to the cpap, and a friend who successfully used one told me not to give up and to try different style masks. i could not use the one with the nose thingees, i finally settled on one that covers my whole nose and it's very comfortable. i can't sleep without it now.

i'm not saying that you DO have sleep apnea, just saying that IF you do, there are many options when it comes to masks, and with patience and a little time you will find the one most comfy for you.

good luck!

I did mine at home. They told me that they really don't need much time on there....and not to worry about waking up with it out of my nose. I don't remember exactly how much time she said they needed I think she said they really only needed like an hour or less of deep sleep with it on..and it could and would be spliced together if need be.
