How Do Sleep Studies ACTUALLY Work #shorts

Показать описание

Visiting a sleep lab can feel like a scary or daunting experience. You’re spending the night away from home, you’re sleeping in a strange bed, and you are connected to a host of wires and electrodes. It’s natural to feel some anxiety. And how well are you ACTUALLY going to sleep?

Be sure to check out the full video of Tom's sleep study.

I got one done last night (I'm 13). I had 32 sensors.

I have to do this tonight, there is NO WAY I will be able to sleep with all that on me. Especially on my face and nose/mouth area. When GI has had to do Endoscopy and just putting that thing in my mouth made my BP skyrocket, my anxiety was horrible..they had to first bring BP down enough to give me an early meds, once my heart rate calmed they gave rest of meds so I could sleep. This is NOT going to be good 😢

To anyone with an up coming test, this is really accurate.
It's totally fine and actually pretty comfortable. You can't even feel the wires attached to your head when lying down.
The trickiest part is going to the bathroom and cleaning your teeth (use a cup!) and just being mindful to not get tangled up in the wires when getting in and out of bed.
It doesn't feel uncomfortable when sleeping, and it's not scary.
The hardest part is getting the goo out of your hair if it's long. (And they don't let you drink caffeine)
All the best!
