Jessie - the sleep study

[Guest guest]

Thank you, Jessie, for that reassuring info. on your sleep study. So far she's

just mentioned it, asked if I had one, but hasn't insisted I need one. I think

my husband should have one, because he snores very loudly. His dr. doesn't

think he has sleep apnea. He isn't really tired during the day, so he gets a

good night's sleep. He is 45, though, so in the evening, when he sits in front

of the TV, he does fall asleep. But that's pretty normal for someone working 6

days a week at his age? Anyway, I've gotten of on a tangent. Thanks again.

I'll keep it in mind if I ever have to have one.

P.S. Do you use a CPap machine now?

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.
