Posted by TheShoe24 on March 19, 2003 at 12:30:23:Hi folks,
Well I just got back from my sleep test and that stupid MSLT test. I was so messed up cause I couldn't smoke a cigarrette OR take my melatonin. So I only slept like 3 hours! In fact the technician had to TELL me that I had actually slept. He told me that I did not stop breathing in the three hours that I slept, though I did snore. The other strange thing was that unlike when I take my melatonin and have a normal 8 hours+ of sleep, the tech told me that I didn't have any rem sleep. I found this strange because from intro psychology I know that the first rem period occurs approx 90 mins into the sleep cycle. The tech told me that it was possible that my apneas occur only in rem sleep (see my previous post Wondering About Dreams...) and that I might have to have another study done so we could get some rem readings. Personally I don't want to go through that. I'm already losing weight, and after the weight is off I am going to quit smoking. Anyway, if the sleep doctor recommends another study he will HAVE to let me take something to sleep or I will never get to rem. Please post any advice or comments or whatever!
