Tricare Doc did a referral to an outside sleep study center. They called me right away and scheduled it for last night.

Told me to bring PJ's and my own pillow (for comfort, or I could use theirs). Showed up at 8:30pm, tech brought me to a room, put all kinds of sensors on my legs, chest, face, head, and then stuck one of those dual tube thingies in my nose. I was thinking to myself... man, I ain't gonna sleep a wink.

Started reading the kindle and about 20 minutes later I was out. He woke me up one time during the night when I rolled over and undid one of the sensors. Next thing I knew it was 0500 and it was over.

My fitbit inspire 3 shows that my O2 levels do change a bit while I am sleeping, but they stay within the range set (at least on the fitbit). A few times a night it does get pretty damn close to the "high" range. High meaning a drastic change in O2 level, which would indicate sleep apnea.

Meh... oh well.

Sleep study done last night. Surprisingly, I actually slept... not surprisingly I slept as fitfully as I usually do. Tech said my doctor would receive the results in 7-10 days, but in his opinion I have a mild to moderate case of sleep apnea...

Dammit. I really do not want to sleep with a fkn mask.

Thanks! What a difference, I had expected something like what you described, not a magic ring and phone app.

I have n older Fitbit, just does heart rate. A lot less $$$ than my wife's blocky Apple watch, I may need to upgrade.

This is the one I have. Got it on a black Friday weekend sale for $69.95, but it's $10 more now.

Edit: As far as the "magic ring", I have to agree. No way that ring tracks heart rhythm, brain waves, eye movement, leg movement, etc. The tech was pretty good at explaining everything all the sensors did.
