Guest guest Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 You mention how difficult it was to go for the sleep study. I am very much afraid of having one done myself. I don't think I can sleep without my meds, and I don't like having things hooked up to me. It doesn't sound like a very pleasant night. Jeanne in WI Hi Loretta, I started useing the Cpap a few weeks ago and yes I do think there is a bit of a difference. I want to say there is a lot of a difference but in order to prove that it's the new sleep pattern I'd have to stop some meds. I'm just not ready to do that yet. It hurt too much to even do a trial.

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 I've had two sleep studies. A good sleep doctor will not require that you not take your meds. The idea is to see how well your meds are working for you and whether something can be done to improve your sleep if your meds aren't doing all they should. I thought I'd never sleep with all that stuff hooked up to me and my bedtime routine so disrupted. I did sleep enough, though, for the test to identify multiple sleep disorders. So, if your doctor thinks a sleep study is in order, it's worth doing. That said, I don't want to have another one! It's not a pleasant night, that's for sure, but it was worth doing.
