Hey all, I was wondering if any1 has had a sleep study done I had 1 a few yrs ago & now I'm back for another I don't sleep very well generally, the previous doc tried treating me with pills however this doc wants another sleep study done, so here I am again 1hr 1/2 drive down to caboolture I so wanted to take the bike but we had a huge storm, when I checked the B.O.M site the storm front was spread down as far as & over the NSW border I was gonna take the long way home is not gonna happen now Regards Sean

G'day Sean
I had sleep studies about 5 years ago and found I had sleep apnea. Got a CPAP machine and it changed my life. in the studies I stopped breathing for longer than a minute while I was asleep and did around 20 times an hour. they reckon it's what caused all the migraines. It seams I never got into what they call REM sleep which we all need. I used to snore like a B**tard and I got sick of my missus kicking me in the ribs of a night.
I use the machine every night unless I'm out camping and I couldn't live without it. It has helped with the snoring, headacres and lack of sleep, even help dropping the old blood pressure.
If I hear of anyone that has trouble sleeping or snoring I always recommend doing some sort of sleep study. Like I said, it's certainly fixed me up. Cheers Craig

Yes I have had sleep studies done as well , they found that I have sleep apnoea also. I too have a Cpap machine , dont tend to take it away with me but I use it at home , the upcoming Walcha trip will probably see it coming with me though , cause when I have a beer or two , apparently I snore like a chainsaw ;D and keep everyone awake. I also snore worse when I have a bit of weight on ( like now ) , so I need to watch what I eat too Graham

Yes Gra you do snore like a chainsaw, in fact it's the quiet moments between the snores that are the worry (Tathra caravan Park 2008/walcha Van park 2006). Common theme here, could be we are trailer trash!! Either way your a noisy Bar%@d!

Tathra 2008 involved more than "a beer or 2" as I recall Graham...I do remember a few grunts and gurgles coming from the bunk under me though...Russell was very soundly asleep Wasnt a bad night out after a big day in the saddle hey chaps.

Forgot to up date you It turns out I got mild to moderate sleep apnea when I sleep on my back They said they might get me back for a study sleeping on my side only However they said that there is nothing they can do about my insomnia, they said the doctor might be able to treat me somehow for that, not that the doctors have been successfully treating that now

Do you think the machine would cure lack of sleep from nightmares of the boogie man making his way into your home doing the unimaginable to you !! Not me - the misses, i slept through her vacuuming under the bed so i have no problem with sleeping - can sleep while people are talking to me being the worst case scenario Cheers Pete
