Sleep Study Unsuccessful

Unfortunately, it turns out I am one of those rare people for whom the CPAP made zero impact. The sleep tech woke me up a little while ago and said, “You were a tough one.”

Apparently it took forever for me to fall asleep (I had to tell the tech that was typical for me) and once asleep, I kept waking up even when the tech increased the pressure going through the CPAP.

I asked, rather fearfully, if they were going to leave it to my primary care doc to “read this off the report” once it was completed in 3 weeks, and the very nice tech said she’d email her boss to see if the boss could suggest something else for me or set up an appointment with one of their sleep doctors, since my own doc seems to have no idea this was even possible.

All I want is just one freaking full night of sleep. At this point, I’d settle for 3 continuous, non-medicated hours.
