What to Expect at Your Appointment:

​

After you arrive, report to registration. The sleep technician will show you to your room and begin preparing for your sleep study. This will take approximately 1-2 hours. After you have filled out paperwork and have changed into your night clothes, the technician will begin the hook-up process.

 

The hook-up process involves the technician placing a hypoallergenic adhesive agent and/or a conductive paste will be used to place electrodes on your head, face, chest, and legs. This test does not involve needles. At this time, you will be asked to remain in your room. You will be free to read or watch TV until your bed time. Your technician will request that you turn the room lights out by 11:00 p.m.

The sleep study generally stops between 5:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. the following morning. We will send your test to an interpreting board certified sleep physician. After the sleep study has been interpreted, the patient account specialists will fax the results to your referring physician. This process may take 5-7 business days.
