Dear Debi,

Let's hope you have better luck than your normal and you won't have to go in for additional testing. Let me know if the kit holds everything one would need that is NOT already using a mask.

I have no aversion with going in for a study but since I sleep on my stomach, I am not sure how useful the study would be if I have to sleep in another position. I would never get to sleep and if I did, I would never get into a deep sleep or one that would be useful.

That is my biggest concern. I would spend the entire night tossing and turning and they will never know if I stop breathing in my sleep as I would never get into a real sleep.

There are some other minor issues but nothing that I would have a real objection to going to the sleep center.

Another concern is nocturnal trips to the bathroom to empty one's bladder.

If someone has to get up during the night for that reason, do they have to remove all the electrodes so you can use the facilities?

Some nights I can sleep through the night but others are interrupted with trips to empty the bladder.

I know these questions are for the SLEEP DISORDER forum, not the PN forum on which I am posting but since the topic came up here, I have asked the questions, here. Sorry, I did not mean to hi-jack this thread.
