Has anyone had a sleep apnea study done, do you know if they let you take something to help you sleep?

no, generally, trouble getting to sleep is part of the what the sleep study looks at, so they do not want you to be drugged.

No, they won’t give you anything because they want you in your natural sleep state. They do put wires on you for the study. You have a choice. . . don’t get the study done and keep having sleep problems. Good Luck!

They will if you tell them up front what your taking so they know. Sleep apnea has nothing really to do with falling asleep, it’s everything to do with your breathing once you fall asleep. It’s not as bad as you think, or at least mine wasn’t. I thought the same thing but they let me take my vicodin for my back and I was out like a light!

Generally they do not the first night. If you have a repeat study they may. You need to speak to the sleep specialist/MD.
Part of the study is seeing how fast or slow you fall asleep.
