I can't remember the last time I had a restful night's sleep. I've learned to live with it. The most restful part of the night for us usually comes in the early morning between 5:00 and 7:00 am. Of course, my husband snores like a rampaging freight train so that might have a little something to do with it, but don't they all after age 50??? <br /><br />Look forward to hearing your results. <br /><br />Sleep tight.<br /><br />M-TMarie-Thérèsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06834644226980732441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092223141967556234.post-12087654714983927952017-09-21T21:28:51.553-04:002017-09-21T21:28:51.553-04:00My sweet Aunt had a sleep study not to long ago an...My sweet Aunt had a sleep study not to long ago and she was so anxious over it but they did get to the root of her issue, sleep apnea.

I can only imagine how uncomfortable it must have been hooked up to all those monitors and walking out with your hair all stuck in the air and your poor face all marked up.

I do hope you get some helpful results from the study. However, that Chinese foot massage sounds so relaxing. I wish you could get that every night before bedtime. I'm proud of you for following through, my friend, and undergoing the study. Let us know the results.

I, too, had a sleep study done, but it was not nearly as awful. First of all, the room was much more inviting: more like a very nice hotel room. I brought my wave sound machine with me so that the familiar noise would help me sleep. I did have some trouble falling asleep, (at least it felt like I tossed and turned for quite a while, but my results showed differently). My morning was far less disruptive than yours, so I feel your experience was not the norm and should be reported! I found out I do have mild sleep apnea and am trying to struggle with adjusting to a CPAP machine, but it is a challenge. I'm sorry you had such an unpleasant time. It's stressful enough trying to find a solution to a sleep issue without the testing used to find the problem a stressor as well! Take care. Your followers are all in your corner hoping you can find some answers.Rosie M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12830009889096032701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092223141967556234.post-4114852601399201202017-09-18T10:23:04.256-04:002017-09-18T10:23:04.256-04:00I think I would rather do anything else in the wor...I think I would rather do anything else in the world rather than go through one of these...so glad you got through it and hope for answers and treatment plan.

I'm like you, if there are mayor things on my mind, I'm tossing and sleeping very restless.<br />What a rough treatment... Yikes!<br />As for me, no way I could do such a sleep study as I need to go to the bathroom about every hour; due to my kidney condition. That also interrupts but at least I don't turn the full light on and drift off usually right away.<br />Life is not easy and I sincerely hope it did give you some better insights!<br />Hugs, <br />MarietteMariette VandenMunckhof-Vedderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877699174880945452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092223141967556234.post-45894043214445141182017-09-17T22:17:06.154-04:002017-09-17T22:17:06.154-04:00Oh, what a dreadful experience.
