Maybe I will ask for a full study at a facility instead of that other thing.
I just don't think I could sleep with that mask..especially if it is anything like that thing I tried. Do you have to sleep on your back?
I almost never sleep on my back. My mask is very comfy. The sleep study at the overnight facility was not that big of a deal. Most of the technicians already had their own sleep study so they know what their patients are going through. Also it is good for your doc to prescribe a sleeping aid for that night. Go for it.
