I had my first sleep study done two nights ago. Three other guys arrived at the same time I did, and we all watched a video together. Our stories were indentical. Its nice to know I am not alone. Anyways I had a really hard time falling asleep, and had to take two Ambiens. About 3AM the tech came in and fitted me with the medieval torture mask. I told him that I didn't think I slept at all during the first half, but he said that I did in fact fall asleep for a few brief periods. He first fitted me with a mask that fit around my nose. Before I knew it, he came back in the room and the mask was next to me, not having remembered at all taking it off. He then fitted me with the full facial Darth Vader deluxe model. Much to my surprise, the next thing I knew it was 7:30AM and I was being woken up by the tech. He said I was supposed to have been woken up at 5:30 or 6 but since I was sleeping so well he decided to let me be. Hopefully with a CPAP device and some weight loss things may just get better. Damn those masks are ugly though. What sucks is that I am single and those masks are not exactly chick magnets. Overall it wasn't as bad as I thought.
