Yes, I had a sleep study done. They told me I get to level one sleep only (out of 4), and that my sleep is very interrupted. I spent 5 hours in bed at the study, and most of that time was spent trying not to stare at the camera recording me and trying not to think about the camera. I found it very disturbing. I also have mild obstuctive apnea -I snore. I have a machine (CPAP) to compensate for the apnea, but it is not helpful. I can't get to sleep with this medeval mask strapped to my head. I developed a system of pillows to reduce the snoring.
I have tried acupuncture, chinese herbs, aroma therapy, and western medicine. All of them have been equally ineffective. I may get a Jamaican Shaman to shake his mojo beads at me. It couldn't hurt.
