Items to Bring to Your Sleep Study:
How To Prepare for Your Sleep Study:
1
We will need access to your scalp to place EEG sensors (brainwave monitoring). Please no wigs, caps, or toupees. Hair should be recently washed & dry. Skin should be clean and free of makeup and lotion.
2
If you can, please remove artificial nails/fingernail polish from at least 2 nails. These items can disrupt readings of your oxygen saturation levels.
3
Please avoid caffeine, excessive alcohol, foods that cause discomfort, and naps the day of your study. Take normal medications as prescribed.
4
If you normally shave your facial hair, please do so prior to your study. Full beards are exempted from this.
Good Things to Know:
1
You will be able to easily use the restroom during your study.
2
If you plan to take sleep medications, and you are concerned about how it will affect you, please arrange for transportation home.
3
We DO NOT have a shower/toiletries available.
4
The sensors are non-invasive/painless.
5
As an outpatient facility, we DO NOT have any type of nursing care available. You need to be able to perform daily living activities independently (i.e. getting in and out of bed, changing clothes, or using the restroom). If you need additional assistance, please contact the sleep lab to discuss options.
6
If you have problems with pain during the night, please bring your usual medications to treat this. We DO NOT have any medications available here for you to take.
7
If you are diabetic bring your required medications. We also encourage you to bring a snack, if needed.
8
If you are using oxygen, bring a sufficient amount for transportation to and from the sleep study. While you are here, we do have concentrators available for you to use.
9
Phillips Respironics recently issued a voluntary recall of most PAP machine models due to health concerns related to the breakdown and off-gassing of VOCs from the sound abatement foam. Our lab unit is part of the recall. We have removed the sound abatement foam from our units to ensure our patient’s safety and will comply with all future recall instructions issued by the manufacturer.
What to Expect After Your Sleep Study
1
A Polysomnographic Technologist (Sleep Tech) will connect several sensors that record your brainwaves, breathing, and muscle movements throughout the night. Despite all the sensors, most people say it doesn't significantly disrupt their sleep.
2
The sleep technologist will monitor you from a computer in a different room. The technologist will also help you get up during the night if you need to use the restroom and assist with any other requests.
3
If you are being tested for sleep apnea, you may undergo a "split-night" test. During the first half of the night, we will diagnose your sleep/breathing problem, and the other half will be used to determine the best way to treat the problem. Sometimes, you may be asked to return for another sleep study to determine the best way to treat your sleep apnea.
4
If PAP is needed, we will fit you with various masks and find the right fit for you. There are many options.
What to Expect During Your Sleep Study:
1
You will need to schedule and attend a follow-up appointment with your provider to review results. You must do this no earlier than 10 days after your sleep study, but no later than 30 days. This window allows us to meet insurance/durable medical equipment guidelines for coverage, if needed.
2
If PAP or oxygen is prescribed at this follow-up visit, your provider will go the next steps in how to obtain these items.
