8. I had a terrible time at my sleep study

I went because my primary doctor assumed that I must have sleep apnea because I am overweight. I didn't have any symptoms, but I went.
I am a side sleeper, but they of course set me up on my back. I was very uncomfortable, and could have sworn I never fell asleep at all. I didn't have the sense that it was a shorter time than it was. It actually seemed longer.

When they changed me to a CLAP, I was desperate to get some sleep, so I twisted and turned until I got on my side and fell asleep.

I was told that, of course, the uncomfortable sleep proved that I had sleep apnea. They prescribed a CPAP, of course, and a follow up visit. When I went back, I had to fill out the how are you sleeping form again. Before CPAP, I had no trouble sleeping. With it, I had every symptom of sleep apnea.

I ended up getting an oxygen concentrator and an oral appliance. I actually think that the appliance actually helps. Not so sure about the oxygen.
