During my period- I'm up every 2-3 hoours cuz it's heavy BUT usually once I"m asleep I'm out. I believe I do sleep 7-8 a night but still feel like shit when I wake up. Every once in awhile someone will tell me I snore. UGH And the other night I guess I was yelling in my sleep but don't remember dreaming. Anyways, just trying to figure this out.Guess I need a sleep study to see if that's whats keeping me from good sleep. Those machines scare me.. Reading about how elevating your head may help-- There is a 'wedge pillow' online but gosh how the hell can I sleep on it-- looks so uncomfortable.. I'm not terribly overweight but yes 20 lbs would be good.
Hi Kelly, Let me reassure you, there is no pain, needles or anything invasive…just things to monitor your vital signs & etc..I had this done…it is important!! If you have obstructive sleep apnea(when your tongue slides back and blocks your air flow) its dangerous as you are literally not getting the oxygen you need, many times during the night…it can increase your risks of heart attack or stroke…but you can get a CPAP mask, lose weight, change sleep positions and etc…to prevent all that and get a better sleep. For me I had non-obstructive sleep apnea & needed medication…Don’t worry you will do great!! Best Wishes:wedding:
Thank-you and yes sleep is very important.. I bought a simple $20.00 wedge pillow today and will see how it goes the next few days. But yes, will get that sleep study if that doesn’t help..
