What happens at bedtime?
The technician will apply a few additional sensing devices. Again, these are painless and will not restrict your movement during sleep. There will be a technician in the monitoring room all night. If you need anything during the night, all you need to do is speak, and the technician will hear you through the intercom. All patients are expected to stay in bed for 7 hours. The technician will wake you when the test is over. If you need to be awakened at a certain time, or need to leave the UnaSource Sleep Center by a certain time, please notify the technician immediately upon arrival, so that your bedtime can be adjusted accordingly. In the morning, your electrodes will be removed, and you will be allowed the opportunity to wash up and get dressed to leave. If you have daytime nap testing ordered, some electrodes will be removed, while others will be left on. You will be given your choice of available breakfast items.
