Sleep apnoea is a term I’m hearing for the first time, because my doctor is starting to think that this might be the reason why I’m not sleeping properly.
So now I need to find out if I actually have sleep apnoea. I’ll be taking a little machine home with me (beginning of Spetember) and sleeping with it for a night. It will record what happens while I sleep, and then the doctor will analyse the results and let me know what’s going on — whether there is sleep apnoea or not.
I have to admit, it’s a little strange to suddenly have another possible explanation for my terrible sleep. I guess we’ll see what the machine says!
Have you ever had a sleep apnoea test? What was your experience like? And does anyone know if it’s okay to do the test while taking antidepressants / sleeping pils?

I can’t speak from my own experience but a friend of mine has Sleep Apnoea. He sleeps with a mask. It’s a drag but he does sleep alright after years of being tired every morning. So he finds its worth it. I wish you strength with the test Ilze!
