Guidelines: Night of polysomnogram study

Please follow these general guidelines on the night of your polysomnogram unless otherwise directed.

  • Depending on the type of study being performed, it will take approximately 60 minutes for the sleep technician to apply electrodes and various sensors.

  • Once the study begins distractions, such as television, radios, cell phones, and pagers will need to remain off through the rest of the night

  • You will be awakened between 5:30 A.M and 6:00 A.M. Once the sensors are removed, you are free to leave, wash up or take a shower. Due to limited facilities showers are for patients only.

  • All patients must exit the lab by 7:00am.
