If you're curious about why flannel pjs in July . . . it was all part of being as comfortable as I could be. I'd been a little cold during the first study. I brought a flannel quilt, my pillow and some wool footies to keep my toes warm, too.
How many sensors were there, you ask? Here they are, before they were attached to me. This box sat on the bed, next to me.Of course my look wasn't complete until they added a mask with headgear . . . and then, a strap to prevent me from breathing through my mouth. The first mask proved to be too claustrophobic, the second one was a winner ;-)
But other than all that, the environment was quite comfortable and the observing tech was tucked away in the command center–out of sight, out of mind?
I came home with a CPAP unit and mask and can already tell that it's going to make a big difference in the quality of life for me.

233 times is very scarry! I am sure once you get all the test completedand get the results you will feel so much better and get back to sleeping.
Well, well now I have a picture of you. Remember months ago I was looking for a picture, and you looked too, for my blog post on Make Believe Friends.
I'm going to save this one in case I ever need a picture again.
Sweet dreams to you.
wow -- I can sleep through almost anything, but I don't know if I could sleep with all that paraphernalia attached to me! Good job! I hope the cpap works for you.
Here's hoping the CPAP does the trick!
Well, I've been wondering for some time what you looked like, but something tells me that might not be quite the mental picture you really want me to have all the time... But gosh I hope this works for you. Keeping my fingers crossed.
They sure gave you an attractive room for the sleep study. All my heart tests were done in sterile hospital ER and radiology rooms, which were not attractive or comfortable. Hope the mask helps you sleep and feel better.
