Insomnia - SLRPNK

Lemmy

If you’re wondering, it’s a cute idea but they clearly haven’t actually done a sleep study. Being wired up to 19 sensors leaves little room for movement, let alone extracurricular activities.

Source: I had my second sleep study last week.

I never understood the point of a sleep study. How is this highly artificial environment supposed to deliver helpful results? How are you supposed to sleep at all in this kind of environment?

I did a sleep study that was done at home. They just sent a device I clipped on my index finger, strapped around my chest and put a small tube around my nose.

It’s definitely still a little artificial, but it’s at home with no one live monitoring you. As long as you get some sleep they can use stats and all the various data to get an idea of what’s going on.

I wanted a home study so bad but my insurance veto’d it.
I don’t even need a damn study. I snore loudly, wake up often if I don’t sleep on my side, and am overweight. I have OSA. There’s no real need for further diagnostics.
