About every other yr. I go into the hospital
for sleep disorder study. I stop breathing
several dozen times at night (Sleep Apenia)
It takes around 45 mins. to get wired up by tec.
The tec. is there all night monitoring the machines,
there is a camera over the bed. AFter they see what
is going on with your breathing, your limbs, brain, etc
They come into the room set you up with a CPAP and
continue to monitor, they may have to titrate to a
higher pressure.

It sound awful I feel for you and others who suffer this way as being deprived of sleep must affect you so badly as the body needs this as part of its refreshing and renewing process
