A little tip I learned from mine.....to get the sticky stuff our of your hair from the leads they place....use conditoner first when washing your hair in the morning. I did that and came right off.:) Good luck!

Narey, Hope they find something to help your sleep. (Too late now, but chocolate has caffeine in it which tends to keep you awake.) Hope all goes well. Judy

I hope it goes well for you! I'd have brought chocolate too :)

Hi Narey,
I hope you are still awake!!! Things will be fine honey, you are a GREAT PATIENT!!! Let us know how things go, or at least me =) You will do wonderful and then be home sleeping like a baby ZZZZZzzzzzz. Love ya,
Eva

Good luck Narey!

Sleep well!

May you have sweet dreams with lots of sleep and no pain!

Hugs xoxo

How did your sleep study go? I have to have one this Sat Jan 1st, but they are doing it in the hosiptal and not a sleep study faucilty. Anyway hope all went well. HUgs

No chocolate bars...they don't usually want any caffiene in your system for the sleep study. The last one I had done had a small fridge with juice, milk, sodas, yogurt, etc in it, plus chips, nuts, etc. I stayed for the daytime test too, so they provided breakfast as well.
It's an easy test, no worries about it. They only problem I had was that I felt bad having to ask them come in and unhook me a few times so I could go to the bathroom during the night. But they are quick, don't say much so as to arose you much and get you back in bed asap. I'd say sleep well, but it's better you sleep as you normally do, so if that's bad, sleep bad...you want a true reading of your sleep problems so they can help you out.

let us know how it's gone! Hope you had a good study and good sleep, too!

Hope all went well with the sleep study.


take care
gentle hugs

Thanks for thinking of me!

I didn't end up taking the chocolate bar (and I did know it was a no no, but I was gonna take anyway tsk tsk) I took a few little snacks as a security but I felt odd about eating there, so I didn't... went to bed hungry. LOL

It was ok, but ugh, all the wires and the plastic tubing at my nose.. very hard to REALLY sleep normally. And the mattress was horribly. I was sweating where I was against it (no mattress pad, yuck) and my hips hurt, and my back hurt, and I hurt like hell today!

He said I did snore, but not much; I did wake, but not for long.... sounded to me like it was basically normal (although I must wait till the doc sees it all). I noticed that I didn't have the heart palpitataions I sometimes have when i first lie down, and I wasn't up a LONG time as I have been before when I'm wakeful in the night. I think I'm out of a flare I had recently, and am doing pretty well, considering. That's certainly a good thing, but skews the info gained by tests.

So... probably NOT something I'll do ever again. I'm anxious for the results though.

Glad to hear the sleep study is behind you. When my husband had it done they woke him up and slapped a mask on him so he knew pretty quick there was a problem. Good luck.

It sounds like quite an experience. I'm surprised that it wasn't more comfortable. I'm not sure that I would have been able to sleep at all. Well, it will be interesting for you when you learn the results. Glad it's behind you now :)

good luck and let us know how it went
