Hey Everyone,
What I'm going to ask you guys might sound stupid.....
I'm having a sleep study done at the hospital tomorrow night at 9pm. For a long time now I've suffered from insomnia. It's the real deal. There are a lot of factors I won't bore you with here and now, but I had an at-home sleep study recently and the machinery revealed I have apnea....but not the usual obstructive apnea you guys might think of when you hear "apnea." This is central nervous system-driven apnea. Something very well might not be clicking with my brain and my breathing, and frankly I'm a bit nervous about it.
I have the sleep study in-hospital tomorrow. I get there at 9 and stay until 6 or 7. I'm nervous about the whole thing. I know it sounds irrational and goofy, but I've been staying up worrying about the actual study for weeks now! I'm afraid they won't be able to even get me to sleep, that I will be up the whole night, that I'll be wasting my time, and part of me is afraid of what they WILL find wrong with me.
I sound like a big chicken. I'm just full of anxiety.
I hope you guys can remember me in prayers. A "Lord have mercy" is great, but a little extra prayer tonight and tomorrow would mean the world to me. If any of you go to church for anything, light a candle for Reader Joseph, the big sleep chicken!
The scope of how much I don't sleep is pretty sad. It affects me every single Sunday morning. I drive up to Fresno early for Matins and I feel like a zombie from insomnia. It's been like this for a couple years. I hope I find answers.
Thanks if you can remember lil ole me here!
