Going for a sleep study!!

Post by kona0197 » Fri Jan 24, 2014 12:19 am

FINALLY got a referal to get a sleep study done. It's scheduled for the 24th of February. Really looking forward to this as I get my CPAP machine right after the study. Doc says I might need BIPAP. Looking forward to a good nights sleep. So, any pointers?

And by the way I have an old CPAP machine with mask, what do I do with those?

Make sure you are tired when you go to the study no napping that day. Make sure you wake up early the day you go.

You could save the old machine for a backup or you could post it available to some one in need of a machine that has no insurance. You could also list it on Craigslist for sale and try to recover some $$ for it.

You can open a new thread. Just like you did for this thread. Just describe what kind of machine it is
Ask the people to send you private message.
When you find a taker just reply that it is gone thats all. People do it here all the time.
