How to Prepare for Your Sleep Study

Please bring these items with you:

• Completed sleep questionnaire and pre-registration form. Please call Regional Sleep Management if you have not received these materials.
• Insurance cards
• Personal hygiene items
• Pajamas
• We prefer cotton t-shirts and shorts or sweat pants
• Please note: we monitor your sleeping habits via video camera, so you must wear pajamas

Preparing for your study:

• Plan to stay until about 8:00-9:00 a.m. the following morning
• Wash hair thoroughly and do not use styling products, including conditioner
• Do not use caffeine products on test day
• Parent or guardian must stay in the room with a minor
• Leave valuables at home

During the study:

• Sleep management staff will ask you to view a video about sleep apnea and the use if CPAP
• Staff will explain CPAP procedure and let you practice with the CPAP mask and machine
• When you are ready to sleep, staff will start the study and monitor you throughout the night
• If you show enough events and there is time to treat you, the technician will use the CPAP machine to do so
• We may require a second night if there was not enough sleep or CPAP treatment time
