Sleep Study

In just a while, I will be heading to a sleep center in Everett.  I have suffered from insomnia for about 8 years now, and rarely do I go to bed without medication.  If I go to bed unmedicated, I do not get a restful nights sleep which makes my Fibromyalgia pain awful. Apparently, there is a link between chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia.  So, my doctor wanted me to do a sleep study to find out what is going on while I sleep.  I have had to journal my daily activities and my sleep for two weeks.  One week was without sleeping medication and the other week was my normal routine.  That first week was unbearable!  By the end of the week, I was barely functioning!  It only took one good nights rest, and I felt so much better. I will not be taking medication tonight, so they can accurately see why it is I don't sleep.  It kind of freaks me out thinking about someone watching me while I sleep! I will get there around 6:45 and get hooked up to all kinds of wires which takes an hour. I can then watch tv or read until bedtime between 10 and 11. They will let me sleep for at least 6 hours, wake me up and send me home.  It should be an interesting evening!
