study for me was just a monitored sleep to confirm if I in fact had sleep apnea. Bunch of wires on my chest and head and an uncomfortable assed bed in a room full of cameras and two techs in the room next door. I couldn’t fall asleep at all the first night and they sent me home at 4 am. Night 2 I made sure I was extra tired and did passout.
I get called back for a meeting to be told I had sleep apnea. No ****, I stop breathing in my sleep. I know this.
so I go back again, and have to do a trial night with a machine and mask on. Sleep like garbage again because it’s awkward AF.
I take it home and stick to it because my now wife is a RT and tells me she will only have sleepovers if I get one.
11 years later and still going strong. I hated it for a week now I enjoy and appreciate it.
edit - and since my study, the doctor has since lost his license. Turns out he was a super troll in the medical world haha. My man.
