Good luck on your sleep study Jan. I go for mine next friday the 8th.

Have you ever had one before?? It's not bad. They have a lot of wires they hook you up too. They put a bunch on your head and around your face. The stuff they hook the ones up to your head with, you get that gel like stuff in your hair. Sometimes it's hard to get out. They have wires even down to your feet so see if you have restless leg. They monitor your heart and lungs, to see if your O2 drops any while you sleep. They vidoe tape and mic you as well to hear and see you sleeping.

During my last sleep study they woke me up and put a cpap mask on me to see if that helped my O2 level when I slept. I couldn't stand to have it on my face and ripped it off. The cpap pushes air into your nose. It didn't help me anyways because I can't breath through my nose.

After your test they send you home and then you met with your doctor for the results of the test and to see if there is anything they can do for you.

Their not going to touch your tongue any during the sleep study. With mine they know that my tongue is falling back into my throat cutting off my airway. I've had a lot of problems in the past with my jaw and my mouth being so narrow. I've had my upper jaw widened and might have to have the lower one done now. But if I can have the tongue shrunk some where I don't have to have major work done. It will be a lot easier.

Good luck tomorrow and let us know how it goes.
