Sleepy Pam

The results of my sleep study came back. Evidentially, I have obstructive sleep apnea and limb movements which resulted in an average of 3.2 brief arousals per sleep hour. (Mike did his Beavis and Butthead impression when he read "arousals," but that was NOT what the sleep study was referring to.) According to the study, I am only 82.5% sleep efficient and awoke 34 times during a night's sleep. Also, they did not record any REM sleep, but they said that was probably due to medications I am taking. So that is at least some explanation to why I am so sleepy all the time. Now I just have to see what they can do to fix it.
