Sleep Study – Quick Facts
- Our center is designed to look familiar and comfortable, like a favorite hotel. Each private testing bedroom is beautifully furnished and includes cable TV as well as a DVD player. Our center includes a bathroom with shower for your convenience.
- Our sleep technologists are highly qualified sleep medicine professionals that provide superior patient care.
- Sleep studies are performed by collecting physiological data such as heart waves and muscle movement while you sleep using non-invasive sensors. A sleep technologist records this data as well as images coming from the camera in your testing room. This information is carefully reviewed and compiled into a report that is sent to your doctor.
- Bring loose-fitting, two-piece pajamas such as shorts/pants and a t-shirt to wear during your study.
- Alcohol and caffeine are to be avoided prior to and during the study.
- We provide refreshments for you in the morning. If you are scheduled for a daytime test, meals will be provided for your convenience.
