My doctor ordered an “MSLT” as well. What is that?
MSLTs or Multiple Sleep Latency Tests are daytime nap studies. They are started 2 hours after an overnight sleep study if your primary care provider feels that more information about your child’s daytime function or sleepiness is needed. In this test, your child will take a series of 4-5 naps every two hours throughout the day. If your child is having these tests, the sensors will be gently removed after the night study so that your child can clean up, change clothes and have breakfast. Some sensors will be freshly reapplied prior to the beginning of the nap studies.
