No that's not the case. I was at a sleep study. This is the "hook up". The electrodes, are more annoying than anything but they don't hurt. So yeah, that's what I got to do Tuesday night.

I hope you were able to get some rest with all those wires. The important aspect is that the results of the test provide the information the doctors are after.

About after an hour the only sensors I did feel were the Leg ones, my chin, and the nose/mouth sensor. As Corrine said, ALL vitals are monitored. Corrine, It was a hard night, the technician said I did REM a lot. Didn't feel like it... Felt like I was up a lot... I sent a picture to my lover, and it scared them... Not my intentions. Just wanted them to understand this is what I went through. Read More: To be honest.... It felt like I came out of a horror movie when I seen my picture, when I had more time. As to what it actually felt like. I could see why my lover was scared. It felt like I was a puppet, or like some evil scientific experiment.

Anthony N Well-known member Joined Jun 13, 2012 Posts 619 Location Michigan, USA Oct 4, 2012 #8 Joeten, this study was ordered for what happens in my sleep. Not nessarally the sleep pattern it self. Yea, it wasn't the most comfortable thing to sleep through. But it'll help with a lot of issues that I have when I'm awake and in my deep sleep.

Hope it was worth it... It sucks to have to go through all of that just for them to say "nothing's wrong"... Although, that is the response you want to hear the most...

Anthony N Well-known member Joined Jun 13, 2012 Posts 619 Location Michigan, USA Oct 4, 2012 #11 It honestly scares me looking at that picture now... But then again, it reminds me this is for the better to find a solution and find out what's truly going on with me. GZ, it's a different experience for everyone. But for as much as they were testing. If anything we will find something.

Anthony, was there any indication from your Doctor about how long it will take to analyze and get back to you with the test results?

Corrine Administrator, Microsoft MVP, Security Analyst Staff member Joined Feb 22, 2012 Posts 12,254 Location Upstate, NY Oct 4, 2012 #14 I think "crossed wiring" is better than the "loose wire" I've been trying to help elsewhere. It is the very first time I have ever been tempted to suggest calling the Geek Squad or pulling the plug, packing up the machine and taking it to a repair shop.
