      If your doctor deems it needed, they can typically make a strong case (based on your own medical history, what you say you're experiencing during the day and night, etc.) for why it's "medically needed" and get it most if not all covered, maybe pay a copay or something towards the deductible. If you don't have insurance, sliding scale (payment based on your monthly income).

    I sleep on my side and toss and turn every hour or so. Seems the probes would detach from my head. Same when I was in hospital for covid. Nurse keeps coming in and says “sir, you need to keep still during sleep” because i kept popping the wires loose from the electrodes, but I cant sleep on my back so I toss and turn. That hotel room looks comfy though I always thought it was in a hospital in one of their uncomfortable beds.

    So a dear friend of mine that my family and I took in due to his health problems is about to be having a sleep study in a couple of weeks and two things I was curious about is one will he have time to do Isha prayer? As a Muslim he prays five times a day and praying before going to sleep especially in his religion is very very important. Isha p r Ayer takes about 5 minutes but since he's going in for a sleep study he might spend a little longer. The second question that I have relating to his health is will there be a nurse there? Because he gets breathing treatments every night before bed and he gets hooked up to his feeding pump and also during the day he gets to feedings he will also be having a daytime sleep study. So I was wondering if there are typically nurses and sleep labs to help with those kind of people. My family and I would not want him going without his feedings. Again when it comes to his spiritual routine he is kind of nervous that he won't be able to fulfill his prayer obligations for Islam. And if he doesn't do his five daily prayers unless he's obviously really sick he considers it very bad to skip

      @@CutieRingoJoy everything went wonderfully. The sleep staff was awesome and he had a very sweet and wonderful Muslim nurse taking care of him. She even joined him in Isha prayer to the best extent because due to the fact that a Muslim man and a Muslim woman aren't supposed to be alone together. But she even helped with his tube feeding needs which was very wonderful of her but when he woke up needing the aid of a machine to help him breathe at night besides the oxygen along with the Sleep Tech she came running in and recited Quran to him while holding his hand and being a source of comfort to him.
