Well finally did my sleep study! I have a few other names to call it....
So I went in for 9 pm took the lady 45 mins to hook me up ( while sitting still in a torture chair) then another 15/20 mins to calibrate the computer and camera...I took a book cause I try to read before bed for down time. At 11 pm another woman comes in to be hooked up yes in another room but I could still hear everything...an hour later the tech comes back in to shut off my light..so. Ow it's midnight. The room is 1000 degrees...I have a million wires hooked up to me the sticky stuff on the tape feels like it is burning my skin and all the goop is itchy...so now you want me to sleep. FUNNY. The tech is in and out of my room 5-6-7 times cause I keep messing up the wires...oh yes let's not forget the air hose up my nose and in my mouth.snorkelling comes to mind..ok so where I live night time is quiet...not in town as I learned. Train running through with horn blaring..sirens helicopter..
I know that I was awake more than I slept..
At 5 am the tech comes in to wake me..oh ya you go home now! The bed was so uncomfortable my body is in revolte..my brain is non functioning ..but please get dressed and go home! Holy crap. How can you find out if I have sleep issues in such a short time frame..
Of course I'm going to have issues. I didn't sleep!
I went out to wait for my ride and have a smoke oh but guess what. You need security to let you back in the hospital..never mind I'm better off outside (in the rain) ...
Ok to say the least I'm exhausted and well pain level is very high..put through the ringer ..run over by a steam roller..had a dump truck run me over twice.. You know a great day!
Any one else go through this joy?
