[QUOTE="You Gonna Learn Today, post: 133106, member: 13086"] I did a sleep study as a sleep center years ago and didn't sleep one bit. With all of the wires hooked up to my head and a tube partially up my nose, it would absolutely impossible to sleep. As a result, my doctor at the time concluded I was narcoleptic (which I'm not). However, when I slept I never felt fully rested when I woke up (even if I slept 8+ hours). Fast forward a few years and I went to a new doctor (ENT specialist this time). They have a new take home sleep study that's a smaller box and only a few wires. It was much easier to sleep, but I kept having issues with the nose sensor. Nevertheless, I had atleast one full night data that determined I have mild sleep apnea. I was prescribed an auto-pap to sleep and the moments I did sleep I was definitely in deep sleep. I know because I was no longer snoring (recorded on SnoreLab app on my phone). However, I cannot sleep much with it. I've tried different masks, but cannot seem to find the one that will keep me asleep. I've recently had an upper respiratory infection (caused by a bad cold/flu and not by the machine) so I haven't used it again and don't plan on it until it's completely out of my system. I picked up a new mask and hoping this will help me soon. I'm still feeling tired and really want this to work, but sometimes I feel like I'm claustrophobic even though I've never been in any other situation. Based on what I have seen and heard, sleep apnea will definitely cause some of the symptoms of low testosterone and fixing that may fix some of the issues. However, it all depends on your labs, as well. I'm no expert, but just giving my examples of what I've been dealing with. I hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
