We survived.
For a sleep study there is not much that promotes sleep. Bright lights, television, a very late bedtime, waking kids to reposition breath tunes and electrodes. Kate went to bed almost three hours later than usual. Almost pulled everything off in a tantrum at 1am. Glad to be home. Bought them Toys r Us "thank you for not losing it" presents....
She had electrodes glued to her legs to see if she kicks, to her throat to see if she talks, to her head and scalp for brain waves measuring sleep cycles, to her chest for heartbeat, a finger clip for oxygen measurement, a band around her chest and her belly to guage breathing movements in addition to the tunes in her nostrils to measure breathing. I'm sure I'm missing some.
This is my kid who needs a heavy blanket, her sheets tight, her hair off her neck, her clothes just right and not itchy.... It's a miracle we slept at all.
Now to wait for the results...
