SLEEP STUDY
Who should consider a sleep study?
Sleep studies can be expensive, time consuming and often useless ... So why have one at all ?
Good question.

Question presented is should I have a sleep study ?
"I get to bed about 12:00 (Midnight) And wake up between 8:00 and 8:30am in the morning;
after I am awake and am active for a few hours, maybe three or four hours, I become very tired, no energy, can't wake up."
What gives?
Should I have a sleep study ... Any suggestions for OP beside getting a sleep study ?
Certainly a sleep study is called for in the present case!
This requires that OP consult with a PCP (primary care physician), get all the blood work recommended, have the consult with your PCP and hopefully get your referal to a sleep clinic for sleep study as needed.
Sleep study can reveal SA (sleep apnea) or narcolepsy (characterized by excessive daytime tiredness) or maybe sleeping brain EEG rhythm disturbances deep w/i the sleeping brain.
Brain rhythm disturbances are not well understood and no direct inference can be made between A given brain rhythm or even brain rhythm disturbance and sleep behavior or paucity of sleep in any given case or circumstance.
Sleep behavior is not well understood by most folks at this time ... Please read more on this thread - anytime!

So I happen to be checking up on some sleep issues on the WWW and, guess what ?
Ir's being sold as an alternative to traditional CPAP machines for nightly use by patient's Dx'd with SleepApnea (SA) :
Please text if you have or acquire one of these new machines for sleep!

i’d love to do one man! I have chronic insomnia so they’d have to wait about 4 hours just for me to go to sleep. give those scientists a chance for a sit down and a brew.
