The Sleep Clinic

Angela is a sweet baby angel, super nice and knowledgeable. I work in Research and Public Health and COVID-19 precautions are always on my mind and the two ladies working that night were making sure to take them all, so you shouldn't have any worries there. Minus one star because the walls are paper thin and I will forever hold a sleep grudge against that thing that goes in your nose...

I needed 2 studies due to my insurance. During my first visit I had nurse Nancy. I was a little surprised that my temp wasn't checked and to see my nurse without her mask at times, especially when a Covid test prior to my study was not require, I work in medical field myself. Overall my first visit was fine. However when I returned for my second visit I was so impressed by Nurse Angela. I'm not sure if office policies had since changed but I was greeted by another nurse with a mask who took my temp. The room was set up similarly to before with the many cords on the bed but this time there was plastic coverings on the chairs, remotes and clip boards. I never seen either nurse without their mask. This made me feel much safer. Angela was so personable and knowledgeable, she explained everything she was doing and why thoroughly. I was very nervous to use CPAP, but she was so patient took extra time to ensure my comfort even though I wasn't her only patient, I likely put her behind though she never made me feel rushed or that she was too busy for me. She made me feel like she really cared.

I had a great experience! I have been to many sleep studies and thus one actually listened to me about things!

I used the same clinic as my last one on N May (about 2013) this one is not near as nice. I notice a difference in room sizes but worse, my bed was against the wall of the work area. I sleep at night is a total quiet house at home, I could hear them talking, and moving around. Waking up about 3am, needing to go to the restroom because of pain, cold, and noise I couldn't go back to sleep. They asked me within 30 to 45 mins if I wanted to go home. Of course, I wanted to go home, it was so cold that it cause my RA/OA to flair not to mention that Motel 6 has better mattress. I felt like I was laying on the floor and in so much pain.. (I wonder why, was it because I was medical that my room and chair to set in was so different.) It was very cold, I asked for another blanket which then was double and had to ask for another one. I bought my own pillow and try to use their's to cover my legs. This was my 4th sleep study, and by far the worse bed. Also my attendant was ok, and didn't make me feel comfortable, he also dismissed what type of mask I have use in the past; I told him I could only use nose pillows and I had asked to pre-pick it out. Which was dismissed, these isn't my first rodeo and knew what works on me and what I can wear without issues due to allergic reaction to full mask and breaking my nose years ago. I do know that 3 hours later I'm still have pain on in my hips over that bed.nnLast time on N May the bed was so wonderful, I replaced my mattress with the same one in a week. For some lucky reason I didn't snore, but been told if I do is about 4am for the last 2 to 3 hours. I have lost weight which maybe the reason I didn't last night. But I know even if I gain weight and told I'm snoring again. I WILL NEVER have another sleep study.
