I went 4 a sleep study test and they found out that I have SLEEP APNEA,and can not get in 2 REM sleep,or stay in it long enought 2 get the proper amount of sleep,I need 2 rest.
I had a sleep study at the beginning of this month. No apnea but also little to no REM sleep. It is miserable. I have an appointment to discuss the results/treatment. Will keep you posted.
I can't really tell the difference as I have sleep apnea. When I was working I worked night shift that was 11 mos ago & I still don't go to bed until 1 or 2am. On bad days I will go earlier or if I am stressed even later.
I understand, I wake up all the time, The only way I sleep soundly is if I have a really busy day and then I wake up really sore in the morning, and it makes it hard to actually get out of bed.
I had a sleep study done as well; no REM sleep and no deep sleep... :-( I try to calm myself 2 hours before going to bed, drinking Sleepy Time tea, read a limitless bit, and I take herbal capsules that have helped some. But I still have nights of tossing and turning, or waking up around 2am due to the pain...
I know the feeling!
