As the other person wrote, I'd try to find another doctor and get another study done at a different sleep center. You can also get an at-home sleep study kit, though they're not nearly as accurate as the full study you'll get at a sleep center.
I had a bad experience at my own sleep study too. I sleep on my side, and I can't sleep without some kind of white noise like a fan or rain. But with all that tubing hooked up, it was impossible for me to turn onto my side, and there was no white noise available. So I ended up laying there on my back, like a vampire in its casket, for six hours straight while the sleep techs dutifully came in every hour to adjust wires and ask why I wasn't able to sleep.
Eventually I fell asleep about an hour before the study ended, and they told me I barely got enough data for the study to conclude. They weren't happy with the data, they wanted to do another one but I refused. What they did have was enough to get me a prescription for a cpap.
I'm not a doctor, it's possible that the unique environment just made you sleep differently that night. But despite all my trouble with my own sleep study, I swear by my CPAP. I don't even take so much as a 20 minute nap without it.
