    My first study was in a sleep lab. It is as you describe. My second study last week was at home in my own bed. The experience was much the same.

      I took an at home study a few months ago and it was just one uncomfortable finger sensor?

        Yea, I did one of those too, but it didn’t pick anything up, so I had to go in.

          I had the same experience, my doctor told me the home ones are often worthless but insurance companies like to make you try them before approving a sleep lab because it’s cheaper.

        I had that, six sensors on my skull, a nasal air sensor, two leg sensors, a stomach and heart sensor, jaw, chin and eye sensors as well as two chest expansion sensors, all wired to a data logger that was hung around my neck and took as much space as a cat sitting on my chest.
