Yesterday night, the husband had his sleep study done at the clinic. A Sleep Study or Polysomnogram (PSG) is a "multiple-component test, which electronically transmits and records specific physical activities while you sleep. The recordings become data, which will be "read" or analyzed by a qualified physician to determine whether or not you have a sleep disorder."
In short, this study is to find out what is happening while you sleep.
In order to get a C-Pap machine, a sleep study has to be done.
They gel Jason up, and stick electrodes all over his body. By attaching the electrodes to your body, the recorded electrical signals generated by your brain and muscle activity are sent back through the wires and recorded digitally and on continuous strips of paper.
He said it was an uncomfortable night and found himself grasping for breath a few times because he had to be sleeping on his back.
He came home at 8am the next morning.
