Jan - Several years ago I had the sleep study done in the hospital with the strange bed, wires, the whole bit. I was use to sleeping with the tv on. They wanted to turn it off. I told them to leave it on or I would never sleep. I had to go back for another night with the CPAP. That wasn't as bad. This spring I had to do it again. This time a different Dr. I got to do a home study. Just slept with a thing on my head that looked like a light you use on your head. Put it in the mail the next morning and that was that. I have a new CPAP machine now. This one doesn't make fifth of the noise that the old one did.
I hope you do OK with yours. Linda B.
