Well, this sleep study will cost $1,000 and our part is $100, so there ya go. I have no idea about the machines and such. I guess I'll get to that if I need to.
My friend's husband got his machine and she said she had to go sleep in a different room, it made so much noise. Then she said that the next morning he woke up looking ten years younger, with lots of energy, smiling and laughing so much she wanted to slap him.
I assume she got used to it, because she hasn't mentioned sleeping in separate rooms again. One family we camp with has one of those machines going all night for the dad. They usually camp a little farther away from us, so we don't hear it. I wonder if I'll have one of my own when we camp in November!
If the bed is hard (I'm trying to reply to everything in one post) it must not be THAT much like a hotel room! I think it's interesting to know that they only need to see you sleep a few hours at a time. I figured if they didn't monitor an entire night's sleep they might not be able to tell. Very interesting!

How long ago was that? My g/f's machine is very quiet, creating only a little white noise (like a small fan), and it's really very relaxing and calming.

But even if it was noisy, the toll apnea takes on your health would make it worth getting used to. Distrupted sleep stresses everything from your heart and kidneys to your eyes (she had to have her contact prescription adjusted b/c her vision improved with the breathing machine).
Good Luck with the test and be sure to update us with the results.
