It went okay. Couldn't fall asleep with the first mask, but I got a bit of sleep with the second mask they tried (the ridiculously named "nasal pillows"--I guess they wouldn't sell as many if they called it "nasal rasp"). They determined I only need a pressure of 5, which seems awfully low to me. I wonder if, in the sleep study environment, with an uncomfortable mask on my face, I wasn't able to relax enough to collapse the ole airway a whole lot. But I did sleep, so who knows. I'm hoping to get my stuff tomorrow and get rolling tomorrow night.

Thanks for the help!
