My parents were both big snorers, and I suspect I may snore pretty bad myself. I'm not sure since I live alone. At least twice, though, I've snored loud enough to wake myself up! There have been times recently when I've been half asleep that I've felt like I was holding my breath and then finally exhaled with sort of a "pop" from my soft palette, and last night I woke up feeling like I'd been holding my breath again, or being smothered. It was a terrible feeling. That was the last straw, so I talked to my GP and he wants me to have a sleep study.
Our local sleep center has a patient information page online about sleep studies, but I was curious if anyone has a first hand account. What was it really like? Any tips?
