im a sleep tech and i enjoy the feeling of helping people get better sleep. makes me happy
OHMIGOSH – I’ve had an CPAP for approximately 3 weeks and WHAT A DIFFERENCE! Yep, there is some adjustment – but I FEEL SOOOOO MUCH BETTER. Who knew? If you are in doubt, PLEASE seek medical advice – it WILL change your life.
BRAVO! I had my clinic last night and my nurse all but told me I had sleep apnea. I slept with a CPAP from 1AM till 6AM. Nuttin to it. I CAN’T wait tp get my own machiine!!!! I’m soooooo tired of being tired!
I woke up several times Friday and Saturday night but only once last night. I am finally getting used to the CPAP. I have felt really alert the last few days and finally have enough energy to start a diet and exercise. I think this will be a life changeing experiance for me.
How was your first night with the machine. Wasd it uncomfortable? Did you feel rested it the morning?
I took one because I’m the nervous type in strange new environments . Tonight is my first night home with the CPAP machine. I was diagnosed with severe sleep Apnea. 3,500 dollars for the damn thing(i have to pay 10% of it). I hope it will make be feel better because I have felt exhausted and sick for the past few years.
I don’t think I’ll need the Ambien – I can fall asleep ANY TIME, ANY WHERE…I KNOW I’ve got sleep apnea..I told the lab when a previewed the place, that they could put the leads on me NOW and get the results – they said they need at least 6-1/2 hours of observing to evaluate. I hope the other evaluees say “I heard you snoring!!!” in the morning…..
I checked out the sleep lab I’m going to next Wed. Very nice — they have cable and a DVD player and encourage you to bring a movie….
Also, I think the tech will probably let you try a CPAP machine before you go to sleep in case they find you have Sleep Apnea. I was relieved the Tech let me try it for about 5 minutes before I went to sleep so I knew what to expect if he woke me in the middle of the night to wear it. I actually kind of enjoyed being able to breath and sleep for once at night. The tech said he was sure I have Sleep Apnea but the DR must be the one to make the final decision.
I went last night, I recommend you to contact your Doctor and ask for a 10Mg Ambien just in caseyou can’t fall asleep. I fell asleep in less than 15 minutes at 9:30 pm. The Tech woke me up 1:30AM and put the CPAP on me and than I woke up at 5:00AM an was free to go. I will goback to buy a Machine later this Week after thr DR. reads my results.
Did you go? I have set an appointment for my ‘sleep over’ on Feb. 11th. I think this must be the EASIEST test EVER GIVEN…..You show up, you go to sleep, no muss no fuss. How was it?
I don’t think I could ever fall asleep with all those things on me.
ONLY people with insurance can afford to get “a chance to live”
I wish I was a lawyer…
My daddy has sleep apnea.
how expensive exactly is this treatment or can this service be provided with insurance?? pst
The Snoring Isn’t Sexy website encourages patients to discuss their experiences with CPAP, Dental Mouthpieces and Pillar procedure. Visit the “Patient Comments” section and rate your appliance, CPAP or surgical procedure’s effectiveness.
Sorry ,but Dr. prescbibe me I got very sicl of cough was shocking. so go with Dr. say lewer , but still same got sick again.
Very Interesting!
Where did you get this video?
Good luck.
When will you have it?
Will you do a video of you all hooked up?
Thank you for this video!! I most likely have sleep apnea but have been so apprehensive about the sleep study that i have been putting it off for a very long time. I think I’ll call on monday and set it up.
Will be allowed to bring a portable CD player if I’m referred to a hospital for a sleep study?
I think I may have OSA.
I wake up in the middle of the night with a LOUD snort, and for the next minute or so, I’m gasping for breath.
Cd that be a sign?
A refresher course. I’ve been on a few sleep studies already and gained a CPAP because of it. I have to go for another one on Saturday.
Could you do a presentation on pulse oximetery please?
Sleep LAB pulse oximetery?
