This is a less technical and more personal podcast about my own experience at a sleep clinic.  I went for a sleep study (technically called a Polysomnography or PSG)  and recorded my impressions from before the study until after I had received the results.  Hopefully this will be a help to anyone considering having the study done.

For a text summary of what the sleep study is about, try the Mayo Clinic articles: Polysomnography (sleep study), or quick summary at UKHealthCentre with links to UK sleep clinics.  Also, a summary from a clinic in Australia specializing in PSGs for children.

And now, the podcast:
