I haven't heard of it, is this something you wear?

I've done a Holter monitor that I had to wear over 24 hours, hooked up to all these ECG things all over me to test my heart. Couldn't shower, nothing.

I think yours is meant to record what you normally do. If you toss and turn or wake up, then that's fine. That's what they want to look at, so they can help you.

Good luck! This will help them to help you.

Iv been a chronic insomniac for the past 15+ yrs now due to PTSD anxiety and reoccuring magor depression due to alot of things that's happened previously in my life, iv tried everything but now don't take anything for sleep as what they gave me many yrs ago damaged my liver, this may sound stupid but the only thing that made me sleepy was a soup I was given the recipe from an aunty who also struggles with sleepless nights and has done so most of her life. If you are interested in the recipe inbox me ? I was told to go to one of those sleep labs and be monitored many yrs ago, but never went , if I can't sleep at home in the night I'm surely not going to wired up in some strange place. Good luck with it.

Never at home but, I've had a sleep study done. It's be biggest pain! Oh, you have trouble sleeping and toss and turn? Let's hook you to a million wires all over your head/ body- that will help! Ha!

If it helps- I had such a horrible time falling asleep with all those wires that I only got 2 hours of sleep before they woke me up because my sleep study time was over but, that was enough data for them so, try not to fret (I know it's hard!) about anything becoming disconnected- more data is better but some is better than none.

This has been ridiculous. I've slept maybe 1.5 hours.

Hello my friend
I'm having this next week at home, I've had fatigue for over a year now but evey day seems worse I don't know how much more, please keep us updated on how your sleep study goes.

Well I got about 2 hours of sleep. The chest strap kept getting lose.
Anxiety high already

I did the at home sleep study and only got enough sleep to pass the test. I went to bed around 9 and woke at 12 and ripped all the crap off me so I could go back to sleep. I have an in lab sleep study coming up on Nov 14th, so I feel your anxiety as I know I’m not going to sleep much if at all. If you did not get enough sleep, they will let you do the test again I believe. Hang in there!

I have not done one of these. However, from people who have had them, some got results, others got very little result.

Best wishes to all.

I have zero hope of it helping them figure anything out however i was required to do it.
My anxiety level is through the roof today from so little sleep...plus I'm back in the room of my 1st huge panic attack. The cleaning people came just as I was beginning a meeting so I had to go in that cave again... im wrecked

My3girls, I am so sorry you are going through all this! I know how you feel as I too suffer with severe anxiety if I don’t sleep. It’s like my cortisol levels go through the roof which keeps triggering my flight or flight. Remember you are safe and cared for and keep the deep breaths up. Again, I’m sorry you’re going through all this!

I have had periods of time when i don’t remember sleeping much if at all.
I take zoplodem every night now (i hope some day i won’t have to).
It does work for me.
I know that without sleep my day is terrible.
Keep up the search for whatever it takes to give you comfort and rest.

my friend did that and she found out she had sleep apnea so bad that she was waking up like every 20 mins--she never got to the deepest level of sleep--which is why she felt like the walking dead---she's got a cpap machine now and sleeps fine.

I can only hope they have something to go on. It's such a vicious cycle.. anxiety vs sleep vs anxiety
