I had a doctor's appointment today. I talked to the doctor about a sleep study because Mom said that I had been snoring, and the doctor said that I had a short, thick neck, so I was high-risk for issues. She wrote an order for a home sleep study to get the ball rolling. I also need to have a fasting blood test done. I'll do that on Monday. She

I did an at-home sleep study a couple of years ago because of my chronic insomnia. I wore a band around my forehead for three nights. Two nights were natural and one was with Ambien. I forgot to charge it before the third night so nothing much was recorded. It didn't tell me much. I'm not a deep sleeper. Oddly enough the sleep doctor didn't seem to think I had to worry too much. I am sleeping around 5 hours a night and that isn't bad. He doesn't think taking Ambien a few times a month is harmful. I have always been able to function despite my lack of sleep, so I guess he's right and I don't have to worry that much.

The hospital called me today to set up the sleep study, so we'll see how this goes.

ARGH! Sleeping through an appointment is so annoying.

I use my phone alarm when I nap because I will sleep very soundly even when napping.

I set multiple alarms and slept through them anyway!

About time ;) I'm going to hazard a guess you have sleep apnea.

I figured that you were going to say something like that :)
