The thought of getting an in-lab polysomnogram can be overwhelming for many patients. This brochure puts patients’ minds at ease by reviewing the full process of the sleep study, such as the preparation, interactions with the sleep center staff, the study itself, and post-exam diagnosis. A brief overview of obstructive sleep apnea and CPAP studies is also presented. Topics covered include:

• What should I do the day of my sleep test?
• What should I bring to the sleep center?
• What happens when I go to the sleep center?
• What is the study measuring?
• What if I don't sleep during the study?
• What happens after my test?
