What is an Overnight Sleep Study? 

This is a diagnostic test that records measurements used to identify sleep stages and classify sleep disorders. Tiny sensors are connected to the patient’s head, face, chest and legs in order to monitor various brain and body activity, including brain waves, sleep stages, eye movements, heart rate, respiration patterns, muscle movements & oxygen in your blood. The test is neither intrusive, painful, nor uncomfortable and is entirely safe.

Can I Fall Asleep With Those Wires on Me? 

Every effort is taken to make the study as comfortable as possible for the patient. The patient can change positions and the sensors can be easily disconnected in the event the patient needs to get up and use the restroom facilities during the night.

Should I Take My Regular Medication The Night of My Study? 

Yes. Patients should consult with their physicians prior to discontinuing any prescription medication. However, it is critical that prior to taking part in this study, the patient disclose in the patient questionnaire all prescription medications that he/she has been taking.

What Happens During My Study? 

While the patient sleeps, our highly trained technicians are carefully monitoring and recording the various critical body functions throughout the duration of the study. Whenever necessary, arrangements can be made for administering of a Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) test where a small mask is placed around the nose in order to hold the throat open which prevents snoring and apnea events.

What Happens After My Study? 

Following the patient’s study, the results are collected and immediately forwarded to Dr. Linarez for interpretation. Dr. Linarez’ office will contact you to schedule a follow up appointment. Typically, the entire process takes 1-2 weeks.

Is Parking Available? 

Yes! We have free daytime and overnight parking available for our patients.
