Sleep Study

Thursday, October 28, 2010

Well, tonight is the night. I am still stressed about completing the forms. However, my mother who volunteers at the hospital and works there at times re-assured me a great deal. She finally understands the difficulty of the forms, and gave me some advice what I need to do to complete them. I don't know why I am so nervous, except not only is it a visit with a doctor, but so many times when I am being examined they find nothing. Not that I want them to, but I do know I have had a problem since birth, and the more I read about the need for restful sleep the more I feel I should get the best quality possible. I know from my research I have what is determined as problems with my circadian rythms.
I did learn that woman will very likely not even be there.

Now I will try and complete what needs to be done. I really appreciate all the support and encouragement of my Spark Friends.
Soon it will be over, and I can return to whatever I can call "routine".

  The forms are the hardest part of the procedure. Most people who do the sleep study think that they will not be able to sleep, or if they do, the study will not pick up something that is there. I am here to tell you that when I took the study, I only slept (what I thought was) a short time. I found out that I had slept long enough for them to determine that I would stop breathing for over a minute. (I thought I hadn't slept long enough for them to determine anything.) The worst thing about the whole thing was the gunk they put in your hair to keep the probes attached. Good luck.
