My doctor is going to order one. I’ve had no deep sleep in years and I feel exhausted and nauseous all day. It affects so much of my daily life. Thank you for your reply ☺️🙏

I'm glad to hear you're on track for a sleep study!

I'd never heard of them until one day when I took a nap and woke up sweating, gasping for air, my heart hammering like the end of the world. My wife drove me to the ER.

At the emergency room, the MD who treated me asked, "Do you have a high-stress job? Does your wife complain about you snoring? Have you gained weight recently?" Yes, yes, and yes.
He said, "You need a sleep study. You're the classic profile of someone with what's called Sleep Apnea." I'd never heard of it.

To make a long story short, after a few months I got a CPAP machine, and once I started using it, I got my life back.

Good luck!
