Been there, done that. My problem is early morning wakening and consequent sleep deprivation.
They got me all wired up before turning in so that I had to sleep on my back and couldn’t shift in the bed (side sleeping is my preferred posture). There was a patient in next room (paper thin walls) who snored like a combination of a rock crusher and a pile driver. The room was a cold as a well digger’s a$$, and then there was a thunder storm. I didn’t think I got even 2 hours of fitful sleep that night. But when I went in for the review the next day, I was told that I have a complete night’s sleep and everything was normal. I remonstrated. (The cost of this sort of sleep study is in the neighborhood of $2000, too.)
At least, now that I’m retired, I can top off the tank with a nap after breakfast or in the mid-afternoon.
Try less invasive ways to stop the snoring first. Sleep study should be the very last on the very bottom of the list of things to try. My sister found separate bedrooms works best.
After they got me all wired up my claustrophobia kicked in and I said “get me out of this stuff and schedule me for UP3 surgery”. Best decision I ever made.
My wife had diagnosed sleep apnea for 20+ years, and refused to get a CPAP machine because the mask made her claustrophobic.
She developed CHF (Congestive Heart Failure) as a direct result.
She later agreed to try different masks and to get the machine. She could not believe how much better she slept, and how her heart rhythm improved; but the damage was done.
She passed three years ago.
At far too young an age; 20 years before her time. We had intended to do traveling and many other things, but she was too sick to go.

They just put an oxygen monitor on my finger. I turned it in the next morning.

I did this at home but the leads kept getting disconnected. I have to do it again next week at the hospital.
