I had to go to the hospital for mine. I would check in around 8pm and they would put electrodes of some sort all over my head and a few other spots. Then I would watch tv a little bit and go to sleep. The room was sort of a cross between a hospital room and a hotel room. It wasn't so bad. I had to do it two nights in a row. The second night they put me on a CPAP machine in addition to the electrodes. A little awkward, but not so bad. I was free to go each morning around 7am, so it didn't interfere with my AHD duties. The worst part is trying to wash the goop that they use to stick the electrodes off of your scalp and hair. That stuff was like a cross between silicone caulking and bubble gum.

If you have had trouble in the past and you are tired a lot, then you should give it a try. It's not that big a deal. Plus, they can identify if more serious health problems are potentially around the corner for you.

Wow! We have something in common! Who would believe it? I had to do exactly the same thing you did. And like BrianC used to (sounds like you aren't anymore?) I use one of the CPAP machines every night. Does it work? I don't know, I'm too busy sleeping. LOL! My wife however says I no longer stop breathing in my sleep and that I snore a whole lot less, if at all. I also do know that I feel much more rested during the day. I would definatly give it a try, guy. What do you have to loose?
