I’m crashing out mid sleep study
Currently in the midst of a sleep study for narcolepsy.
Guys i'm going crazy, just finished my second nap test. But there's just so much freaking noise!!!! Staff in the corridor laughing, talking, phone ringing. I'm so exhausted yet I can't fall asleep because each time i start to get the fast pace images in my brain indicating falling asleep a freaking noise wake me up!! 30 min of pure torture I can't do it anymore.
The sleep tech came by my room for the end of the test telling me she ran it a bit longer because she couldn't figure out if i was sleeping or awake. I was like, man me neither. I feel very irritated, like when you want to sleep but someone keeps waking you up.
My brain is screaming.
Told her about the noise during the first test and she told the staff but no change at all. Wish i could link some audio so you could judge.
Anyway, can you be narcoleptic and a light sleeper ? Because if yes then it's pure torture. And if they find no problem with me that sucks too.
Just ranting and frustrated that the sleep study that took so long to have is being hijacked by chatter. 😐
Anyone had similar experiences? It'll help me get through it.
God help me, I want to go home and sleep.
