Have a sleep study tonight

[babyleanna75]

So my doctor ordered a sleep study and they called me today and set up a sleep study for November 14th then they ccalled me back half hour later with a cancellation tonight and asked if I could due it tonight. I said yes. I am not looking forward to it being hooked up to machines by a lot of wires. I will wear a diaper even though I don't wet the bed. I can't make it to the restroom due to OAB and urge incontinence. So I usually start to wet as soon as I stand up. I will probably end up needing the Chat machine and I don't want it.

I had one done. I stopped breathing 30 times an hour. A c-pap is the best thing now after i got used to it. Sleep much better now and sleep less. You may start to wet the bed when sleeping deeper after you get used to the c-pap. Or chat machine.

I probably will I haven't slept good in 15 years or so. I use to wet the bed as a kid when I slept soundly.

I had a sleep study done on me. Found out that my oxygen saturation level was below normal. They gave me an air machine, just didn't help though. I felt worse after using it then not. I sent it back to the company, I didn't want to pay 35.00 a month for using it. Why would I use a machine that wouldn't make me feel better after I woke up? I sleep a lot better now than I did before. The docs want to do another study but I have been balking at it. Seems like they are more focused on my diabetes than root causes of my issues. Right now I am just relaxing and taking things one day at a time.

A goods lights sleep is a good trade off IMO. Hope it works out for you.

Been on a c-pap since 2006 right after my heart attack.

[babyleanna75]

Well they didn't put me on the CPAP . Didn't sleep well and had to use a sleeping pill.

[BabyTara]

I had a sleep study last night, too. My last one was about 3 years ago. I have a CPAP I have been using infrequently. My pressure is still

[DiapermanAl]

I use the pillows alot more comfy. Yeah its hard to sleep at the study center. But they seam to get enough data.

[babyleanna75]

Darn auto correct I had to go and fix it I typed CPAP and it corrected it with carpet. Al they gave me 4 pillows but the bed was uncomfortable.

I have a sleep study in a couple weeks actually. I've had nocturnal neurosis for a couple years now. (On this forum better to differentiate between controlled and uncontrollable bed wetting). In any case any issues with letting staff know about preparation or any tips?

Thx!

I'm on my third cpap in the last 26 years. Tried surgery first, it didn't work and I would NEVER recommend it to anyone. One cpap lasted about 15 yrs, the Dr. couldn't believe how many hours were on it.

You don't have to say a thing. Typically, they let you settle in your room on arrival, then you change into your bedclothes (privately), then you get wired up. The place I went to asked that you wear a t-shirt and gym shorts for sleeping. There were a couple of wires that were routed down the legs, but you do that part. I wasn't diapered for mine, but in retrospect, they barely would have noticed anyway.

If anything, you make it easier on their part since you won't have to be unhooked in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom.

They won't ask if you go padded. Hell I had surgery with a diaper on and nobody said anything or asked. If you feel the need though, you can inform them that you wear a brief or diaper/nappy because of bladder or bedwetting issues. But chances are they've already seen and heard it all and it won't phase them. In other words, they won't care.

[Baby Brian]

Chances are?

[lilJester]

Brian you always have the possibility of someone new working. That's why I said chances are....

[BlakeJordan]

Thanks everyone. Really helpful. Exactly what I needed to know! Now to get that daytime craziness under control :whistling

I've been using a CPAP since 2001. It makes a huge difference in my alertness. It took a little getting used to, but I love it. I never had the courage to go to my sleep study in a diaper.

[redneck diaper boy]

I have had several sleep studies and wore a cloth diaper and plastic pants during all of them. They had a stack of disposable diapers on the cart in the hallway. I have been using a CPAP since 2001. I wouldn't want to be without it.

[babyleanna75]

Well I go to the sleep doctor on the 19 to get the results.

Hey Blake:

[Baby Brian]

I wouldn't recommend any sleep drugs stronger than melatonin, though, because a drugged sleep isn't the same as normal sleep.....
