Last night, I completed a sleep study. They connected me to an EEG and EKG. They also measured my breathing and monitored me all night through video and audio. The sleep tech explained that they were not allowed to tell me what the results were, so I have to wait for the specialist to contact me in a few weeks. In the mean time, I’m wondering what the sleep study could possibly reveal about my sleep and general well-being.

    When I did my sleep study the doctor told me that it takes a long time to analyse the data because there’s a lot of it. So a cursory glance is usually not enough to see everything.

    Sleep apnea is apparently the most common cause of issues. My doc also said there are other possible causes but I can’t remember what he said (or if he listed any others at all).
