The majority of patients are seen initially for a twenty minute consultation only. Following this appointment, a decision about the need for an overnight sleep study is made by the Sleep Lab physician.
Here’s what to expect
at an overnight stay
• A sleep study is an overnight observation of a person sleeping, performed in a specialized Sleep Laboratory.
• The procedure consists of electrodes and other monitors attached to the skin surface with a small amount of paste and/or tape. A registered technologist will be monitoring your sleep through the night using audio- visual and other monitoring equipment.
• You will be in a private room. Continuous contact with the Sleep Technologist will be possible if needed. Visits to the washroom are always possible.
