I've long wondered about that too. For one person I know, it did make a difference; they had a sleep study done, ended up with a sleep apnea diagnosis and CPAP machine, which for them became a significant difference in alertness and ability to stay awake throughout the day (prior to that, they'd had times they felt like they had to force themself to stay awake while driving).
But the process of actually doing the test does seem like it'd be quite a bit different from how one normally sleeps. I guess for someone who has sleep apnea, for example, the disorderly sleeping behavior is consistent enough across environments that it doesn't matter if the testing environment is weird.
I'm certainly curious to see the results. I don't tend to snore and don't suspect I have sleep apnea. My primary problem is that falling asleep can take me more than 1 hour. It makes it hard to get a solid 8 hours and even when I do, I often still feel drowsy and not well rested.
sleep is so important for brain and body health, i've been figuring that out for myself for the past few years. i thought about doing a sleep study but the cost was just to exorbitant for me, and it seemed unlikely to be very conclusive for the reasons you explained (i also am fairly certain i don't have sleep apnea, for example). hope you get something tangible from the results!
I hope the results lead to some kind of solution for you.
I should really look into a sleep study myself. I've long suspected I have something going on with sleep; I relate on the not tending to feel well rested, for example. But I don't want to do it partly for the exact reasons you described about the weirdness of a sleep study. T_T
Thank you! I'll try to remember to post an update here when I get the results back.
