my wife has a sleep study in march..she's always so tired. She had 1/2 her thyroid took out, and got hypo ruled out..so her gp doc said time  for a study..im also serve sleep apnea, on bipap 18/10 settings with 5lmp of o2 sleep only..

the apt is so far away..

can she use just a chin strap to see if she can sleep..i mean its got bad  to wear its messing her life up..

I think you have to use a chin stap with a cpap?? or can she use it alone just to see if it helps. Were willing to try anything....thanks

You can't experiment anything without consulting a doctor now. You mentioned that your her sleep test will be on march, so if she doesn't sleep so long time then it will be difficult for her to survive. Why don't you consult this matter to a doctor?
