My sleep study machine is a chest strap, finger oxygen thingie, and a nose thingie!  Now let's see if I choke myself with the cords while I sleep...

  • hahaha I will tell you that one of the most annoying things as I slept was the darn oxygen sensor on my finger!!! It was taped on there and I couldn't bend my;finger or tuck my arm under my pillow! It was sooo frustrating! Good luck! Let me know how it goes!

  • My finger thing was fine.  It was rubber and was comfortable.  She said if it slipped off to attach the cord to my wrist with a bandaid.  But I was ok without that.  I just was afraid to roll and wrap a cord around my neck... so I would lay on my right side, then back, then left side, then back.  I'm pretty sure I usually just keep rolling in one direction.

    The annoying part was the nose thing.  OMG did that bother the crap out of me.  At one point it was whistling when I breathed.  

    I kept dreaming I took it off, and I woke up and it was still on.  Finally at 6am I took it all off.  8 hours seemed good enough, I usually just doze between 6-8 anyway (I read, play on my phone.... sleep some).

    Night 1 done, two more to go!

  • Haha if the nose thing bothers you, then good luck if you do end up needing a CPAP! Of course, it all depends on the mask you get. I had to go through three before finding the best one for me. They do whistle on occasion. I'm supposed to wear mine for at least 4 hours a night. Even though it helps me, I don't like wearing it anymore. I take it off without knowing it in the middle of the night. :-/ Good luck with the next two nights!

  • I looked up CPAP masks, those would be ok... this is like a rudder tube across your face, with 2 little tubes that go towards your nostrils, and two longer tubes that go down past your lips.  Lady said I could cut them.  She did but then it pokes your upper lip.  

    Eh I'll see if this is what's going on and go from there.
