I had a sleep study done. They told me to sleep on my back. I don't do that! They called it quits at 6 hrs. Never did get to REM sleep. Laying there with things poking you, and knowing a camera is on you. Would you sleep?!

@gingerw I think that was my problem with just the pulse oximetry on my finger. I couldn't get comfortable with the wires and the little transmitter recorder box. I can't sleep on my back either! I watched my finger with the clip on it for hours, I may have slept for 2 hours that night in Rochester. When I had my consultation regarding the outcome of the test, I balked at the results, as I was awake most of the time. If i'm was going to continue with the possiblility of sleep apnea, I wanted to redo that test for reasonable results.

After my Dad and my daughter both experienced this, I just scoff when they tell me to have one. My brother had one in a sleep lab where they ask you your preferred position - then they told him "but we'd rather you sleep on your back.

Someone needs to find a better way...
