I had one done. My problems is it takes a long time for me to fall asleep and wake up several times during the night. I do not have sleep apnea and because I don't have it, I had to stay the next day til 4 pm, so just be aware that if you do have this done, there's a chance you might have to stay the next day.

My husband (now ex) had a sleep study done about 11 years ago now. He was diagnosed with sleep apnea and was prescribed a CPAP machine. I think it helped. Good luck--I hope you find some relief and answers.

My DH had a sleep study done a few months ago and he was diagnosed with sleep apnea and now has a CPAP machine. He says it has helped a lot. DH had no trouble falling asleep, but was waking up during the night and didn't realize that he was waking up so much.

I don't sleep well either (insomnia), but my problem is going to sleep in the first place and then staying asleep - and I know when I wake up because I'm wide awake in the middle of the night and have trouble going back to sleep again.

Sissy-I am sorry you are going through insomnia. Some nights I am fine, but others I have trouble falling asleep. I'll sleep for two hours, and then be wide awake for a few hours. I'll fall back to sleep, but then wake up really early and not be able to fall back to sleep again.

Thanks Sherry. Honestly, I've always been this way. And I found out a few years ago that my dad and 2 brothers are the same way. None of us sleep well.

My mom and my sisters don't sleep well either. I'm so envious of people who can fall asleep easily and stay asleep all night.

I have nothing to add, other than I hope you find a solution, Sherry. I hope all works out for you.
