Rio Grande Valley Sleep Centers ®

A sleep study is a recording  that includes measurements  used to identify various sleep disorders. During sleep testing electrodes are applied to your head with paste. The paste is easily removed and does not damage your hair. The other electrodes are applied with EKG sticky pads. These are necessary to monitor brainwaves, muscle movements, breathing , snoring, heart rate, and blood oxygen levels. None of these devices are painful or dangerous and all are designed to be as comfortable as they can possibly be.

What do i need to do for the overnight Sleep Study?

* Avoid caffeine, alcohol, or napping the day of the test.
* Bring comfortable  clothing to sleep in. You may also bring a pillow, if you'd like.
* Eat your normal dinner before you come in.
* Shower and wash your hair. Do not put oils/lotions on your skin.
* Bring any medications you may need to take before bedtime.
