Guest guest Posted March 7, 2004 Report Share Posted March 7, 2004 Hi, Well, it's over with, thank goodness! The nighttime part was't so bad, except for the things they stuck in my nose. And, they woke me up before I wanted to get up. I did wake up a few times during the night, but went right back to sleep. It's the day time test that was a killer. I was SO tired. I had to sleep for 20 minutes every 2 hours. It was so hard to stay awake in between. Had to go down to the cafeteria a lot (with all those electrodes connected to my head with this stuff that felt like crisco shortning) just to stay awake. I kept nodding off while I was waiting in my room, watching boring tv. Then, she'd come in and tell me it's time to sleep again, which was relieving, but then she woke me up after about 20 minutes, and I just wanted to stay asleep. It was funny. The first nap, I wasn't sure if I slept or not. The tech isn't suppose to tell you anything, but later in the day she told me (since I had already filled out the form) that that first nap I fell asleep right away, and was in a really deep sleep. I was sure I slept all the other naps. So, now I have to wait for a couple weeks till I see the sleep dr and find out the results. I'm glad it's over. I had some coffe when I finished, and a shower, and now I feel much better. I did get some funny looks walking around the hospital with all those wires connected to me. I think I scared a couple kids!!! hehe Hugs, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2004 Report Share Posted March 7, 2004 Yea, that's what the dr thinks I have. Narcolpesy. I used to think that was pretty scary and creepy. But, there are different levels of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
