Re: Sleep Apnea
I had 2 visits at 2 separate facilities. The first one was done at the hospital and it was.. well... a hospital. Just dressed up to look a little both homey. Same electrodes pasted/strapped/gelled, to my calfs, head, chest, finger. No mask the first night. They wanted to see how bad the apnea was first. NO shower in the morning at that facility!!! I brought a had and was thankful that I only live 10 min away. The lady who did the study said that the other girl that had a study the same night as me and I were 2 of the loudest snorer's she'd seen/heard. The second was what they called a Titration test, where they hooked up the mask and checked to see what levels of pressure were most effective for me. Second night was done at a facility dedicated to sleep study so it was like a hotel room with tv and shower and recliner lol. Both times, the techs told me to sleep like I would normally and both times I was able to use the sleep function on the tv.
If I had a recommendation for someone who has problems sleeping in odd situations/places, it would be to wake up early the day of your study and try to do as much as you can so you're basically exhausted and will sleep cause your body needs to. It really wasn't a problem for me.
