What to expect.....
As a new patient or an existing patient when you arrive for your sleep study, our registered sleep technician will greet you at the door and show you to your private room, equipped with a bed, television and Wi-Fi access. You can make yourself comfortable and at home.
As you prepare for bed, you will complete a questionnaire about your sleep habits. The technician will then place painless monitors on your head, chest and legs. These electrodes monitor vital signs, including your oxygen level, heart and breathing rates, and whether or not there are disruptions in your sleep cycle. Technicians also monitor whether or not you snore or move your arms and legs in your sleep, all possible signs of a sleep disorder.
Once diagnosed, the patient will receive information and importantly understand the disorder and how it is going to be treated. This investment will promote the patient's long-term health in positive way.
Prepping for Your Sleep Lab Visit
Make sure your visit is as successful as possible with these get-ready dos and don’ts:
• Don’t drink caffeine on the day of your sleep study.
• Do bring your favorite pillow and comfortable sleep clothes.
• Do feel free to bring electronic devices, such as an iPad or iPhone. We do ask, however, that you turn these devices off before going to sleep.
• Do bring any medications you normally take before bed. We provide beverages so you can take your medication.
• Do plan to spend at least nine hours at the Sleep Lab.
