Re: On my way to the Sleep Clinic
Take your own pillow and a favorite stuffed toy, it is a piece of cake. Oh and do not wear long PJ bottoms, wear shorts and a T shirt, just a suggestion.
Sleep well. Wake rested.

Re: On my way to the Sleep Clinic
I second the shorts and tee shirt. Keep take a longs to a minimum as they just seem in the way. I took wallet for ID and keys only ( the machine and mask I had also of course). I have had two or three studies and like them better in a hospital than in a clinic. You will probably be tired in the morning. I was. Good hunting on that perfect level!

I have no doubt, how I sleep affects every waking moment.
I am making progress-NOW I remember that I can't remember
If this isn’t rocket science why are there so many spaceshots?

Sometimes we check patients machines to see if they are working properly. We will also adjust them if need be.
