Took second sleep test last night.

My husband took me over to the hospital in the next town last night for my second sleep test. The tech. had the room so cold it felt like a meat locker and I had to ask her to turn the A-C down. She said if she did and I had sweats the tapes would melt off the sensors, but she did turn it to warmer and gave me another blanket. Cripes, when she did take off those tapes, half my face came with them! They were really stuck on there. I did get enough sleep for the test, thoughI think I woke up every 15 mins and remember having trouble with getting my breath. She told me that I did wake up often from not being able to breath, but they didn't last long enough to cause an OS(?) I guess low oxygen in blood? So, is it OK to wake up all night long and not get sleep if you still get oxygen in your blood? I feel awful and so tired. Well, see what happens next. I have an appt. with my Doctor early August for results.
