Last night, I completed a sleep study. They connected me to an EEG and EKG. They also measured my breathing and monitored me all night through video and audio. The sleep tech explained that they were not allowed to tell me what the results were, so I have to wait for the specialist to contact me in a few weeks. In the mean time, I’m wondering what the sleep study could possibly reveal about my sleep and general well-being.
Edit: For years, I have been waking up feeling exhausted. It takes me hours to get going in the morning. They were concerned I might have sleep apnea. However, when I was getting hooked up, the sleep tech told me that they look for much more than just sleep apnea.
Hey, there’s some logic to get behind!
With one night, they can still gather some information – since everyone’s first night will be bad, they’d still be able to determine differences from “the normal first night”.
More data is always better, but that doesn’t mean that one point is useless. (And I know you’re not the one who was making that claim)
