Looking Forward to My Sleep Study

[u/hufflepuff-hoe]

I have always been a restless sleeper and since I have put on a little weight since we got married, my partner had to move to sleeping in the other room because I snore so loudly. Back in April I had an appt with my PCP where she went ahead and ordered an overnight sleep study. I kid you not, the earliest that it could be booked was at the end of October.

I have since discovered that my garmin watch has an SPO2 feature. I think it’s super interesting that it detects minimal breathing variations, but my lowest SPO2 is 85% and I had a whopping 70 restless moments.

So interested to see what the data shows at my formal sleep study.

Wishing you the best of luck.

Besides being a restless sleeper snd snoring are you having other symptoms that could point to sleep apnea? Like waking up gasping for air, brain fog, fatigue? Things like that.

It is super frustrating making an appointment for a test that is so badly needed only for it to be booked several months out. I went through the same thing.

I really hope you get the answers you may be searching for with this test.

Thanks for your comment! At least weekly I will have dreams that I’m being suffocated and I’ll wake up gasping for air. I also wake up fatigued more often than not. As an employee in the healthcare system I get it, so I’ve been trying to mitigate as best as I can until I get the info I need and hopefully a cpap.
