As for the nap right now....You could take a 20 minute cat nap...ONLY 20 minutes. It will be enough to rejuvinate yourself but shouldnt be too much sleep to prevent you from hopefully sleeping tonight.
Set your alarm....have someone call you whatever it takes but NO MORE then 20 minutes. :)

Need a nap, take a nap!!! And I've been through the entire sleep apnea thing. If you need any support or have any questions, please PM me. I know I can help. Ended up with the radical surgery, so I really have been the whole route.

P.S. For all who mentioned it, I have had the overnight sleep study, sadly misnamed in my case as I slept less than 2 hours of a 7 hour study. I couldn't stand all the sticky 'things' all over my head, all the miles of wires hanging off my body, getting in the way of turning over or moving my legs and arms, the strange mattress that slightly dipped on the wrong side of the bed; it was just dreadful. I'd have slept better sitting up in the car in a highway rest stop. :([/quote]
I laughed out loud when I read this. I can't believe how accurate it is. Now add in the fact that the stupid study was done, for me, in a converted office area of the hospital and the rooms were like closets. Had to leave the light on so that I could be seen on the monitors. Couldn't wait to go home and get some rest....apnea or not!!!

I had a similar experience at my local sleep center (NJ). I didn’t sleep a wink that night. I had to re-schedule another test and this time I asked the nurse whether I could take anything to help me sleep. She gave me a tablet – don’t know what it was but it helped me sleep! They discovered I had sleep apnea and went through a CPAP study. Hate the machine – but it’s so much better than not getting a good night’s sleep.

When I had the sleep study, they wouldn't let me sleep on my sides. They had the room so cold that I wanted to put the cover over my ears, but they kept telling me to put the covers down. And yes, I do have sleep apnea, but my oxygen levels don't fall enough to warrant a CPAP. I wish I could get some refreshing sleep!
