Happened to me once. Water chamber broke in checked luggage. I slept poorly for a few days far from home.

Thinking back later:

- I wonder if I could have sealed the area where the water chamber goes and done it water-free?

- I should have taken 1x extra parts for everything

- I have a complete second setup, maybe I should have taken that?

thing is, the 100's of times I didn't need to "overthink" things set my "over" and "appropriate" thinking levels and I thought i was ok.

as to the sleep study - it is LOTS less invasive nowadays. You probably take a device home with you, strap it to your body while you sleep and return it the next day. None of this "sleep in hospital setting" nonsense.

You’re correct! My mother had just such a study a few years ago and it was utterly convenient.
