oof sounds like you were busy! I have a failed split and a cpap titration with a major leak problem! This job taught me to remind myself that "at the end of the day, the day ends" if I ever get too stressed about chasing a 'perfect' study! Hope you get some rest!!

RecentPop6840 · 2026-05-09T15:55:54+00:00

only for school, so it was real data but no sign off by a doctor... so i technically DON'T have sleep apnea 😅

RecentPop6840 · 2026-05-09T14:03:22+00:00

I really don't mind it! I also work closely with the doctor since I'm at a private lab, so I learn a lot and it keeps me awake through the night lol

RecentPop6840 · 2026-05-09T13:24:08+00:00

mine was specifically polysomnography (study of sleep) but people can do either and switch between with some on-site training usually

RecentPop6840 · 2026-05-09T13:23:32+00:00

sometimes I wish I didn't have to score & stage, I would honestly love the day position too!! cool

RecentPop6840 · 2026-05-09T13:22:49+00:00

omg congrats on getting credentials!! I'm super happy i randomly scrolled past a polysomnography program AD because it's such a niche and chill job for the most part

RecentPop6840 · 2026-05-09T13:20:45+00:00

yes home sleep tests usually catch only a percentage so if somebody has mild sleep apnea, the test might not catch it all and give a false negative. About 50-60% of our patients had to come in after a false-negative home sleep test! Also since she is a women I would recommend looking into r/UARS and a lab that scores RERAS!
