Sleep study Friday..

So I'm sort of nervous about this! Has anyone had one? Were you able to sleep well with all those electrodes stuck to your body? Also for the ladies with long hair , did they stick well??

they stick to anything  but// it takes a couple washing to get it out its a globby gluey sticky stuf m i asked my pc for a valuim for when i got there ni poroblem i slept and i am an amsomniac youll be fine

Well it will be an adventure for sure......  Be prepared, wear some shorts and a tank top. They have to put those electrodes everywhere!  I think the ones in my head bothered me the most, and I have thick hair so I had a hell of a time getting that goo out of my hair.  Don't be nervous, just keep the goal in mind!  I had severe sleep apnea and never even knew it!  So I had 2 sleep studies, the first one to diagnose and then the one wearing a sleep mask, (make sure they offer you the new one, that is made by MEDSPA ??  I forgot the name, but I will look at mine tonight) and then measure to see if it made a difference.  Mine was like night and day, I am down 80 lbs and I still wear mine, I can tell a difference after a few days if I don't wear it.....  GOOD LUCK< you will do fine !!

I was super nervous for mine as well. It was almost impossible for me to fall asleep. But once I did it was a breeze. I had to have to go back for a 2nd one. That one was much easier because I already knew what to expect. I am glad I did it because I found out that I stop breathing 58-71 times per hour. Not good at all.

Just a bit of advice. Bring your own pillow. I did both times makes a big difference. Also bring your own blanket if you easily get cold. Or if you are one like me who sweats while sleeping bring a fan. They usually keep the rooms between 68-70.

Good luck! You will do fine

Don't worry even if you can't sleep- they deal with that on a daily basis. Don't feel bad about asking to go to the bathroom or anything because all they are doing in there is monitoring things- it isn't an inconvenience. You get a tv and stuff- I did at least and pick when you go to sleep. I only slept 2.5 hours in mine but from that they could tell that I would be fine. I was up all night, uncomfortable (I HATE sleep number beds!!!!) and the electrodes kept falling off so she had to keep waking me up too. It was quite a night- but so worth it! Nothing to worry about!

As to the head electrodes, they use a sticky paste to glue the electrodes to your head, even with long hair.  The trick to getting out the paste the next day is to RINSE with ho****er first.  As hot as you can stand it.  I leaned over the tub using a hand-held shower head to get the water really hot without the discomfort of a full body shower.  If you use shampoo right away, you'll just be rinsing and rinsing.

Editing software added asterisks to my message.  I meant to say really, really warm water.  It edited my use of hot followed by the word water.  Took me a while to figure out why.  :)
