Before you see your health care provider, learn more about this procedure, treatment or test. Remember that individual treatment plans and patient experiences may vary. This information is provided to help you understand what may happen during your visit or treatment.

About this Procedure

A sleep study measures your sleep cycles and stages by recording:

  • Air flow in and out of your lungs as you breathe
  • The level of oxygen in your blood
  • Body position
  • Brain waves (EEG)
  • Breathing effort and rate
  • Electrical activity of muscles
  • Eye movement
  • Heart rate
  • You will be asked to arrive about 2 hours before bedtime.
  • You will sleep in a bed at the center. Many sleep centers have comfortable bedrooms, similar to a hotel.
  • The test is usually done at night so that your normal sleep patterns can be studied. If you are a night shift worker, many centers can perform the test during your normal sleep hours.
  • Your health care provider will place electrodes on your chin, scalp, and the outer edge of your eyelids. You will have monitors to record your heart rate and breathing attached to your chest. These will remain in place while you sleep.
  • The electrodes record signals while you are awake (with your eyes closed) and during sleep. The test measures the amount of time it takes you to fall asleep and how long it takes you to enter REM sleep.
  • A specially-trained health care provider will observe you while you sleep and note any changes in your breathing or heart rate.
  • The test will record the number of times that you either stop breathing or almost stop breathing.
  • There are also monitors to record your movements during sleep. Sometimes a video camera records your movements during sleep.

Full sleep studies are usually done at a special sleep center.
