Sleep study - am I overreacting?

When I had my sleep study, it was in a building like doctors offices, there was no one else there but me and the guy tech, I felt uncomfortable also, but I did manage to sleep some. it was kind of scary

They need feed back that they should ask in the future if a patient would like a female tech or a male tech. I imagine the idea to them, of not knocking, is to keep you relaxed be able to go back to sleep if he did have to come in and adjust any wires. I guess after a stress test with a male tech, a male tech for the sleep study didn't make that much difference, but that's just me. What was kind of weird for me is the camera. They watch you sleep all night long.

There is NO way I would have been comfortable with a male. My sleep study was done @ The holiday Inn in a secure unit. I had the sweetest little old lady who LOVED to talk about anything and everything. Despite being female, she always knocked upon entering my room. I would have freaked out to wake and see a man standing there. Ahh, hell no. Like the PP posters said not unethical, but defiantly scary.

When I had my sleep study it was some guy who put all the cords on me. Yes, it was a bit uncomfortable. He wasn't working alone, he said that throughout the night it could be him or a number of other techs coming in to help me. That there was also a camera in my room and all I had to do is sit up and say, "Help" and someone would be right in. That did happen once when I had to go to the bathroom.
He only went into my room once after I fell asleep. I get very skittish when someone wakes me and it scares me. It's best to come in the room and announce yourself. Instead he did the WRONG thing. He came in and tapped my leg and gently said my name. My heart rate must have went off the charts and I screamed really loud and I scared the crap out of him from my reaction. He never came back in and the woman who came in later would knock on the door and announce her arrival

I have PTSD as well and when I had my sleep studies (4 total) they were all guys. I just look at it as they are medical and doing a medical job -it is the only way I can get through it. There was at least 1 other person there that night working, usually another guy. I was more creeped out by the cameras than the guys though - of course, they were professional, kind and courteous too!

Thank you so much, everyone, for your responses....it helps sometimes to see other people's experiences and reactions.
I have decided to call the sleep study program and mention my concerns about being alone all night with a male tech and no one else. They have to understand that some females might have prior experiences and issues, and that it can be very uncomfortable -
I figured out the next day that there was a camera on me all night. I saw it in the ceiling. That was kind of weird, especially when I realized that I undressed in that room to put my nightclothes on. But, maybe it didn't turn on until he hooked me up to all the electrodes.....hopefully. I'm not too worried. Who would want a picture of that?
