Sleep test

who  has had a sleep test done? 

I had to have one done. It was terrible for me. I am a tummy sleeper and they would not let me sleep on my tummy. If you do not have any issues falling asleep you should be fine. It takes about an hr to get all the electrodes on.

 I have a very hard time to fall asleep and I sleep on my tummy tooI can't sleep on my back it hurts to much!

I had a sleep apnea test done as part of my testing for VSG.  I found it to be fine. They do take about  40 minutes to get all of the electrodes on your head/chest and legs. I had no problems falling asleep.  Turned out that I had significant sleep apnea...who knew!  I got my Cpap machine last month and what a difference!  I actually get good sleep now. I wake up feeling rested and alert.  I plan on taking the machine with me for my surgery and hopefully once the bulk of the weight comes off I won't need it.
Be sure to avoid any stimulating food/drinks before your test- no coffee/soda etc.. you don't want to be hyped up and have trouble falling asleep. Good luck

 thank you for the info!

 Hi,  I had mine done last Thurs.  They called me Fri to let me know I do not have sleep apnea.  It's not a bad test but I was afraid I wouldn't sleep, so they game me an ambien.  I slept for 6 hours.

 I will have to have something for I come sleep. Thank you!

 Sleep test was fine for me. They have you sleep a few hours on your own while they observe you, then they have you sleep a few hours with the CPAP machine if you show signs of sleep apnea. They told me I had much deeper sleep with the machine, but once I got the darn thing home, I couldn't keep it on at night. I end up pulling it off in my sleep. If you do have sleep apnea, it will help you get your approval from insurance. That's why they do the test. Also to make sure they take extra precautions with your anesthesia if you are approved for surgery. Good luck!

Me I did and I didn't like it but I suppose it could of been worse.  I honestly do not know how they can study your sleep its hard getting good rest hooked to all that crap lol.  It was found I had sleep apnea I had no idea and at first hated the cpap machine now its not so bad and I wake up feeling better in the mornings. I hope I won't need the machine after I lose weight but I hear that may not be the case I might always need it.

 thank you!
