Has anyone here been treated for sleep apnea?
I want to know what all it entails to get a sleep disorder diagnosis. I just don't know if I could sleep being hooked up to a machine and if I gotta go to the bathroom, I'm not going to use a bed pan either!
Also, if you are being treated or have been, how much has it helped you? I'm so tired and sleepy all the time and am getting worse.
Thanks so much!
you go to your medical doctor first and tell him the symptoms you are having and he/she will set up an appointment with a sleep disorder clinic. you go 2 nights. the first night they hook up to a machine to monitor you while you sleep. this first night shows them if you stop breathing while you sleep and how many times you awaken because of not breathing. your body never really get the deep sleep you need to feel rested hence you are tired during the day. they will unhook you to go to the bathroom as needed. the second night you sleep with a cpap or bi pap that will help you breathe while you are sleeping. this will allow you to get the deep sleep that you need to feel rested the next day. i have been wearing a cpap for a year and 2 months and it is the best thing i've ever did. i couldn't believe the difference this machine has made for me after just the first night at the sleep clinic. it will make a big difference in your life if sleep apnea is the problem. the mask takes a little time to get use to but it is totally worth it. good luck

Sleep Better At Night...
The Sunset Dimmer is the Only Product on the Market that Help You Fall Asleep Gradually & Naturally.
But don't take our word for it. Here is only one Testimonial... "I've been using the Sunset Dimmer in my 7 month old daughter's room for a couple of weeks now. Our pediatrician told us early on how important a regular bedtime routine is when establishing sleep habits with an infant. The 30 minutes of light that the Sunset Dimmer provides is a perfect compliment to that routine. As we change her into pajamas, read a couple of stories, and quietly wind down from the day's activities, the light in her room is slowly and steadily dimming. It is very subtle, but incredibly calming and relaxing. By the time I lay her down in the crib it is almost completely dark and she usually will drift right off to sleep. And, most of the time, I feel ready to do the same! I love my Sunset Dimmer and am going to suggest it to families that have children with sleep issues" Elyssa - Cupertino, CA |
