Guest guest Posted April 1, 1999 Report Share Posted April 1, 1999 Many of us have had the honor & pleasure of experiencing the " wonderful " sleep study at our local sleep lab..........as they say, it was real and it was fun but it was not " real fun. " I was just reading about The AutoSet home sleep study machine. A device about the size of a lunch bag that is attached to the person by nasal prongs, a finger pulse taker and a chest belt. It has far fewer uncomfortable connections than machines used in the conventional away-from-home overnight test at your " friendly " sleep lab but it gives equally accurate results. Further info: ResMed Corp. . Mainly used to diagnosed sleep apnea which many of us RLS'ers suffer from too. " would do anything to stay away from sleep lab " RAINBOWPED@...

Guest guest Posted April 1, 1999 Report Share Posted April 1, 1999 and group, When I had my sleep study last March, the technician told me about the home sleep studies and that they were the thing of the future.......very soon. He said that a technician would come and hook you up at night and then return in the morning to unhook you and retrieve the machine. Very interesting.........thanks for letting us know that it is really happening. Connie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
