Sleep study


I went in last night for my sleep study. What a crummy experience! While the staff was polite, the experience itself was not fun. I had wires all over and bands around me and things stuck up my nose. It took me along time to get to sleep. I am being tested for sleep apnea. Maybe this will help me find out why I am so exhausted all the time. By the way, that is not me in the picture, but I had wires like that all over me! I won't get results for about a week. Linda

  1. That is weird. Ken is having the same test done tonight. He gets out of breath a lot plus tiredness. Helen

  2. A lot of people have been having those studies done now. I saw a clinic open up this winter just for that purpose. Hope they find something to help you. In my case my tiredness is caused by WINTER. Longer days of sunlight and warmth will perk me right up.
    Take care.

  4. I bet I have it to some extent. I know I dont sleep as well as I should. The only time I know I sleep good is when I have worked hard physically outdoors, then I am really tired and ready for bed when dark comes. I hope yours isnt too bad.

  5. Thats interesting. I think my hubby needs this done. He sleeps well, but he snores like crazy and sometimes wakes himself up and doesnt realize why! He sleeps too heavily I think.
