A member asked:
I am 18 and male and i had 2 sleep studies and i didn't sleep very long in both of them only several hours and had a sleep pill in 1 of them, is it ok?

Probably: The sleeping pill is fine - we need to collect 4 hours of good data to evaluate oxygenation, pulse, chest/abdomen/limb movements, and mouth vs. Nose breathing. Chances are good that if you took a sleeping pill for the second test and collected several hours of sleep data, you should get some useable information.
