I am going to a in clinic sleep test on Friday as I have always struggled with sleep. As I write this it's 2:27 am and I have to be up in 6 hours to take my car to get. I am so nervous but excited to get answers of what I do or not do while I sleep. I'm just kind of upset that I can't bring my leg pillow, my head pillow and stuffy. Or my favourite blanket. I been waking up the last couple of years with migraines. I am thinking it's from not getting enough oxygen in or out. I am a very shallow breather. My dad has a big-pap machine as he is a chronic smoker and overweight his lungs don't get enough oxygen out. And my mom and grandmother both struggle with sleep. Been off all sleep medications besides natural ones, 7 years. Ones my mom's friend makes as melatonin gives me nightmares and shakes. And I'm not even taking what Wendi makes as they said for my head to be "clear" as possible 12 days without anything. And last 4 year's I've been sleeping with meditation music on so that's going to be hard. Or a window open for last 15 year's or so. And I'm so hoping they can put a fan in my room so I don't overheat. And have some noise to help me besides silence.
And I've always experienced night terrors, shakes, body twitches and spasms ever since my assaults in my early years. Then I started using stimulants off and on from 21-30 and drank heavily from 13-26 but sober from everything now. And my mom said as soon as like 9pm rolled around even as a kid she would see me ready to go. Anyways...
And I just am looking forward to the results but nervous and scared as I hate even my letter watching me sleep. And now it's a doctor and his nurse and a bunch of machines. Any suggestions to those who've had done sleep clinic before?
I haven't really told anyone about this test, my family know and that's it.
