sleep study OT

[Guest guest]

I had the sleep study..

It's ironic since on one hand I had a perfect nights sleep..

which makes me thankful for sleep but it would be far easier if they captured

some troubling sleep issues I have.

Anyway.. sometimes I wonder how much things are psychological as perhaps just

changing atmosphere and jolting me out of my normal experience birthed a

wonderful nights sleep.. Stuff has been weirder after all.. LOL.

I was having nightmares night after night. Also waking at 2 am or even sooner in

great pain and could not sleep nor stay in bed. It was like being in some kind

of nasty drugs.

Thankfully I'm sleeping much better lately.

At least you got a good night’s sleep out of it! LOL. When

do you get the results?

Jodi,

Some of it's psychological -- changing the status quo. And another part

may just be your mind saying, " Well, FINALLY! She's doing something

about our sleep issues! "

Of course, you had to be an anomaly! Most people report wretched sleep

during a sleep study because they're so uptight about all the wires and

things and being in a strange place. (I had a wretched time because they

used perfumed detergent on the sheets and I spent half the night

sneezing.) You, on the other hand, conked right out!

I wonder why I'm not surprised?

When my brother had his sleep study, he said he woke up more refreshed then he

can ever remember. Of course, he can fall asleep sitting up in a chair with kids

screaming all around him, so there's not much that will keep him from dozing

off.

Marilyn,

You made me chuckle..

I see a mind body practitioner and it is amazing the connection all of this

stuff has.. My doc is cool with me though.. she said if need be I'll be sent on

another study. Not really sure how that works out with insurance. Just

yesterday I had a cat nap and woke up gasping 3 times.. no snoring with me

though.. I just feel my breath gets challenging and I gasp as I get scared. I

was super relaxed, no nightmare.

I can't say I was comfortable during the study, pretty much stayed in the same

position due to the wires but my goodness I slept through a whole night.. I

didn't go to the bathroom.. I slept 7 hours all the way through! In the

questionnaire they asked if I got up at all during the night.. which I did.. not

sure why but I went right back to sleep. This is pretty normal for me.

Carol- I should be getting the results in a couple of weeks..
