I think this question is asked often because of fears surrounding potential discomfort. It’s true that your sleep study will saddle you up with a lot of gear, but the good news is that it doesn’t feel too invasive or uncomfortable. If you’ve ever been hospitalized and been able to sleep despite having an IV, pulse oximeter, and maybe some electrodes attached to your chest, then you’ll be able to sleep in a sleep lab.
Truthfully, a sleep lab is a lot less scary than the hospital, and it’s engineered to make you comfortable. If you’re having trouble sleeping, don’t be afraid to reach out to the sleep technologist monitoring you. They’ve likely been trained for this exact scenario.
