I have a sleep study booked!! Low key hoping they find something - I know I snore bad. But they have given me basically no info except to turn up prepared to stay the night at hospital. Anyone got any tips?
Expect a shitty interrupted sleep – unfamiliar bed and environment, probably not totally quiet or totally dark, nurse may need to wake you to reattach sensors that have fallen off, etc. It’s not necessary to sleep straight through to get good results though; wish I knew beforehand.
Expect to be grumpy and tired the day after, and travel home with gross electrode gel in your hair.
I’d probably bring my own pillow(s) next time.
Edit: Also I had to go to bed way earlier than I typically would so anticipate that as well.
Cool. Thanks. Luckily sleeping is my superpower (possibly long undiagnosed sleep apnea thing there) so I am hoping I will be able to sleep. But yeah I might clear my next mortar work just in case. Thanks! And good tip about the pillow
No. Referral went in a few weeks ago. Got acknowledgement of referral pretty quick then phone call yesterday and booking next week. I was expecting it to take longer. Western health group.

I’ve got a referal for one. Did it take you a long time to book it in?
