What happens during a sleep study? | Summa Health

What happens during a sleep study? Your doctor may want to rule out sleep disorders such as snoring or sleep apnea.

Are you persistently fatigued or have episodes of falling asleep unintentionally? Can you fall asleep at bedtime, but often wake during the night and are unable to go right back to sleep? It may be that you have a sleep disorder. These are all reasons why you may seek a sleep study.

Untreated sleep disorders can lead to other serious health consequences. The sooner your disorder is diagnosed and treated, the sooner you will be able to lead a more healthy life.

Have had 3 of these since I was first diagnosed in 1998...after my bride told me I repeatedly stopped breathing at night. Been on CPAP therapy since then. My apnea diagnosis and CPAP therapy saved my life. No more falling asleep during the day! No more drowsy driving!

the most unrealistic part of this: how easily this dude “woke up”. they’re gonna need an air horn for me.

My Sleep Lab (not a Summa) was more like a two-star hotel. However, it had what I needed, so no complaints.

I was unaware they actually watch you with a camera too. My severe anxiety said no

[myserafina]

How could anyone sleep with all that apparatus attached to them???

[emilioramirez]

I have a question could I order drinks

My nephew said he had one and they gave him a pill. He said the same thing I did "mind don't stop thinking, worries. "

So I am planning on scheduling a sleep study. The two questions I have are the following. One I am Muslim therefore I need to do my five daily prayers and my last prayer is right before I'm about to get ready and go to sleep. Will I have time and will I be allowed to fulfill that religious obligation that I do have because skipping prayer unless you're really sick is a big no in Islam. The second thing I do take breathing treatments and I do get hooked up to a feeding pump at night do sleep Labs have nurses to help with that because since I cannot see well and obviously since my caregiver will not be there I will need someone to help me get hooked up to my feeding pump and help with my breathing treatment. And my sleep study is going to consist of a nighttime and a daytime sleep study and I get feedings during the day as well so I will need a nurse to give me my feeding. Again my two questions are one will I be able to fulfill my religious obligation at night the second question is will there be a nurse to help me out with my feedings and breathing treatment

They didn't tell me what to bring next week to the hospital and I have my own neck pillow and I am sure that I feel that they aren't as nice as in this video. I get a call saying date and time. Mine is probably the antidepressants, worry, migraines. My mind don't stop thinking. I also have ptsd and I don't even want to leave my house.

I wonder if this study would even benefit me then, my problem is *falling* asleep, by the time I'd actually fall asleep it would be time for them to wake me up. Hmmm 🤔 I only sleep about two to three hours a night anyways 🤷🏽‍♀️

[oddlyenough]

ugh i have one of these coming up, so does snoring mean i DONT pass? cus i already know the answer to that then.

[II.am.Gold.]

At anytime if you stop breathing would they then give oxygen? Lets said you failed the test and they can tell your dying would you still have to wait the Doc to go over the results in a week? If its that dangerous would they make you wait to get the Cpap?

[jasonl]

Is there any need to take any pills or injections for polysomnography/sleep study? Any side effects? Thanks

[marieantoinnette]

Why would you be encouraged to sleep on your back if you can fall sleep any how? Has this always been the case?

[nayleenable]

I hope I don’t need one but I been waking up early a lot can you bring a stuffed animal.
