During a sleep study, we monitor your sleep and breathing in order to determine if a sleep disorder is present. A sleep study is a non-invasive diagnostic test. We encourage you to approach your sleep study as if you are going to have a regular night's sleep. You may bring any items you normally use to ensure a restful night's sleep.
You will undergo your sleep study in a private room. The sleep lab will look much like a bedroom or hotel room. The temperature and lighting will be set at levels conducive to a restful night's sleep.
Here are some instructions that will help your sleep study go more smoothly:
-
Please bring a photo I.D. and your insurance card to your visit.
-
Try not to take naps the day of your visit.
-
Caffeine is a stimulant found in coffee, tea, soda and other products. Please refrain from ingesting caffeine for 8 hours prior to your study.
-
Alcohol is a depressant. Please refrain from consuming alcohol on the day of your study.
-
Take any medications as usual unless otherwise instructed by your physician. Ask your doctor prior to taking any medicines intended to help you sleep as these may interfere with the results with your test.
-
Bring something comfortable to sleep in, such as pajamas. You may bring your own pillow if you feel it will make you more comfortable.
Prior to your visit, we will review your insurance information and advise you of any payment required by you. For more information on financial responsibility, click here.
