I had a home sleep study which determined i was 1 number into the mild sleep apnoea category. Not necessary for a cpap unless i wanted one. I let it go. New doctor insisted i go overnight for a study to be done. Dont see what difference it makes except to line the doctors pockets. No doubt they will insist on a cpap machine. I have a friend with a brand new machine so will buy theirs instead.

What do they do for the physical exam? At a sleep center

[@JohnsHopkinsMedicine]

To get answers to your question, please reach out to the sleep center directly at one of the numbers listed here: www.hopkinsmedicine.org/pulmonary/patient-care/sleep-medicine.html

They don't do physical exam at the sleep center. You do that beforehand with your regular doctor

I have to read it? 👎🏻

The automatic assumption is that Bob's problem is caused by sleep apnea, but most cases of insomnia aren't. The video doesn't mention other causes and treatments so it left me somewhat informed but totally unsatisfied.

exactly....

[@haventhebeast6050]

I just happen to have both

Insomnia is where you can't fall asleep. That's different than being able to sleep all night but still sleepy upon waking up. That's why you need a sleep study

They have to rule things out. This video is not intended for diagnosis. This video is only to inform you of what to expect at your sleep study.

It literally says he gets a full 8 hours of sleep every night. That’s not insomnia. Not even close

[@RayC234]

Expect not to get any sleep...

[@destinyheath6583]

Seems counter intuitive

[@mariomills]

The point isn't to get a restful sleep at a sleep study, the point is to analyze your sleep, however much you get at a sleep study

[@Staci1994]

retitle video to: you're getting a cpap machine that you probably wont use and cant afford. b/c of the cagey nature of sleep centers i never got a sleep study or even met with a sleep doc. i didnt understand or know anything at all about a sleep study and it would have been a waste of money b/c i dont have obstructive sleep apnea. instead i bought a device that monitors my heart rate and o2 levels then vibrates if i fall under a certain number to encourage me to breathe, its not perfect solution but cost less than a single sleep doctor visit with insurance. its almost like the video here is deceptive and its only to make people feel comfortable with idea of owning a cpap machine not to truly inform or educate people on what really happens at a sleep study - seems super shady

[@Doom_Squid_Son]

Tell us the name of the device!

Didn't even do a sleep study or met a sleep doctor, yet offering opinions on it.
