Help with interpreting sleep study

Post by Bets » Mon Jan 19, 2009 5:37 pm

I would like to post my results so those who know more about these things can perhaps help guide me in my search for the right machine. I am not sure what exactly to scan and post - can anyone tell me which info is important?

Bets, what kind of reports(?) do you have - what are they called, or are you just reading something off the machine itself? What kind of reporting software do you have (if any) and are you using it?

Hi, Julie - I have the reports from the split night sleep study only - I do not yet have a data capable machine. It may well be that there is nothing else I need to glean from the report other than what the sleep doc dictated - but I do have many pages of info from both halves of the study. I was encouraged to get the whole report, and now I don't know what to do with it!
