Has anybody had one? Going to Homewood Suites in Farmington for a sleep study tonight. Any info on what to expect would be appreciated. TY
I assume most sleep studies are similar, for me they hooked my head up to a bunch of wires, and it was very uncomfortable. Good luck to you.Has anybody had one? Going to Homewood Suites in Farmington for a sleep study tonight. Any info on what to expect would be appreciated. TY
This isn't for the sleep study question as I've already had mine done, but I've been given an automatic CPAP machine to use at night. Suggestions on how long it takes to get used to it? I can't seem to wear it more than 4 hours and that has been best case scenario .
Thoughts?? Much appreciated .
It's pretty uncomfortable, don't expect to sleep a lot as they will keep coming in to check on you, make adjustments to the wires, etc. They may even put you on a CPAP in the middle of the night. As far as the machine itself if you have to get one, god bless you. I tried every different kind of mask with no luck. So had to have two surgeries to try and help my apnea instead.

Me too. The nose pillows are WAY better than one of this full Hannibal Lechter looking masks. It only took me a couple of days to get used to it and definitely feels odd to try and sleep without it now. I wish it was a little smaller as I travel a lot and it’s kind of a pain to tote it around but I just don’t sleep well without it.Not sure what you have, but I just recently got an apap and it does take some time to get used to (maybe 2 months?). I think a lot of it depends on what type of mask you get. I opted for "nose pillows" which seemed the least intrusive. When you first start out if feels like someone is blasting air down your throat, but now I actually find it odd to try sleeping without it. I guess all I can say is if you aren't using it for more than 4 hours than it probably isn't comfortable enough and you should try switching the mask to find one that doesn't bother you.

I have a full mask as I breath through my mouth most of the night. Usually wake up like 2 hours into sleep and then the air blowing is really hard and I wait to then go back to sleep but then I get frustrated later because I'm not sleeping and so I just take it off. I know I shouldn't do that.
They poke you with sharpened sticks about five minutes after you fall asleep. If you listen carefully you will hear them waiting out in the hall.Has anybody had one? Going to Homewood Suites in Farmington for a sleep study tonight. Any info on what to expect would be appreciated. TY
Sign me up with team nasal pillow. They are much more comfortable. I had to go with the chin strap. That's not bad at all.This isn't for the sleep study question as I've already had mine done, but I've been given an automatic CPAP machine to use at night.

This is through Uconn and they use Homewood Suites instead of hospital space. Don't really know why. A good friend had a sleep study done at Uconn at the hospital and I'm glad I'm going to a hotel.Why is it at Homewood Suites and why hasn’t anyone asked? Is this normal?
We have sleep study rooms in medical buildings in my area.

I gave up and mine is collecting dust now. Some of my worst nights of sleep were spent trying to wear that piece of junk.This isn't for the sleep study question as I've already had mine done, but I've been given an automatic CPAP machine to use at night.

Watch out for the sleep studies on the Berlin TurnpikeThis is through Uconn and they use Homewood Suites instead of hospital space. Don't really know why. A good friend had a sleep study done at Uconn at the hospital and I'm glad I'm going to a hotel.
Most of the sleep studies in the area including mine are run by a private contractor and you could end up anywhere.
Be sure to check that you still have two kidneys when you leave...
