I left at 4am. I asked the sleep tech for a restroom break at 4am, and I told him if he had all he needed I was leaving. He said I slept a total of 93 minutes. He said I had severe apnea, but couldn't tell me how severe because he's not a doctor. Now, I have to go back and sleep with a mask in a couple weeks and it should be over then. It was awful. I was drenched in sweat, couldn't sleep. Xanax literally did nothing to me. I think it may have actually made me more awake. I also took 200 mg of Benadryl and still only slept 93 minutes from 9pm-4am. These sleep tests are Hell. He was getting aggravated because I was taking so long to go to sleep. I then sternly told him, "I cannot sleep with all of these wires hanging out of me and something protruding into my nose." I was about to leave and say screw it, but then I finally nodded off for an hour. I dread going back again and sleeping with the mask so bad I cannot stand it. If Xanax, Benadryl, and being up 24 hours can't make you sleep, I don't know what can. Another thing, he told me, when I come back to use the mask that I cannot sleep on my side and I have to sleep on my back. I literally cannot do this. I slept on my stomach tonight. It's like when I try to sleep on my back, I get really sleepy then right before I fall asleep something wakes me up. Every time I try it.

Sometimes Xanax or other medications work just the opposite as they should. Sometimes sleeping pills keep people awake for 24 hours instead of putting them to sleep. I know someone like this. A couple of sleeping pills and the person is awake for 36 hours.

Server sleep apnea is 30+ events or stop breathing per hour and each one is 10 seconds. That's 300+ second per hour of not breathing or 5 minutes minimum of not breathing.
