Ok, Im back to update. My sleep study went ok. I used a nasal mask for the first time and I fell in love with the extra freedom they provide. Too bad they do not make that particular mask anymore. It left a sore spot on my head for a few days. That's why the sleep tech said they stopped making that ...

Tomorrow I have to have my third sleep study to be fitted for a bipap. I was wondering how does this sleep study differ from a regular cpap sleep study?
