Sleep Study Results

Feb 23, 2011

Well apparently I don't have sleep apnea. I was kind of hoping that I had it and that it would be the explanation for my sleep deprivation, anxiety and maybe ease some of my asthma issues, but I guess not. I suppose three kids in the house  and going to school full time explains the sleep deprivation and anxiety....now I just hope that WLS will alleviate some of the asthma. What an awful experience the sleep study was! I was thinking it was going to be great...no sharing a bed with DH or kids calling for me in the night. I figured I could sleep through anything even if I had wires all over my body....HA. No one told me that they would scrape your skin and it would sting where they were attaching the wires and that it would sting like hell. No one mentioned that every time you move little laser beams would dance around the room. The bed was hard and the tech was obnoxious. There was no sound barrier between the "bedroom" they had me in and the hallway and every time I changed positions something would disconnect and the tech would have to come back in and mess with it. The tech said wake up was at 5am unless thats when I was in REM and then she would wait a little while. After a night of tossing and turning and finding it impossible to sleep I hit REM at 5am and when she woke me up at 615 she was all annoyed! Well thats enough crabbing for now...I suppose that puts me that much closer to surgery! Its over and I guess the very HUGE plus sign in all of this is that we have ruled out a complication that can make surgery riskier so thank god for that!
