The first time I didn´t sleep at all. The second time, I stayed awake for a day and a half before going to the clinic. Obviously, I slept right through that night but one wonders how accurate the measurments would be since I was comatose tired :) I have actuelly done this ywice. The first time I didn´t sleep at all.

Had a very similiar experience, however the breathing monitor which is like little crab claws pinching your nostrals kept me up most of the time. I too sleep on my stomach which was another reason I could not get any sleep. Needless to say the REM state never materialized. I went for my sleep study last night.

And I'd also be embarassed by my sleep "noises", cuz I know what noises I make at night. They wake ME up! Uh, yeah…I couldn’t sleep with all that taped to my head.

I had to do two of those damn things. On the second one the nurse put on all of my sensors then said "oh I don't like the way I did those" and proceeded to rip all of them off (taking a fair amount of hair with them) and then reapply them. Sleeping normally with that is impossible for me. I used to only fall asleep on my stomach. Now with the CPAP I don't have that option. I know they help you with a host of issues, but sometimes it's nice to just not use it for a night. I feel you brother! I had to do two of those damn things.

However I'd never thought about people watching me sleep, what I would do during my slumber. I found myself laughing out loud, I’ve often thought about going to sleep clinic.

How the heck are they supposed to monitor your sleep if you're too uncomfortable to fall asleep? Ok, that sounds like an incredibly unpleasant situation.
