CAN I SLEEP WITH THESE THINGS ON
ME? Most people
have no problem sleeping. The wires are long enough and small enough
and attached in a way that you can still turn and move during sleep.
None of the electrodes break the skin or are painful. There is also no problem with going to the
restroom at any time. Dream Away Sleep
Labs will make your testing experience as pleasant and comfortable as
possible. WILL I BE GIVEN MEDICINE TO HELP
ME SLEEP? No medications
are kept in the sleep lab. You will
need to bring and take you’re normal medication. Do not stop any of your
routine medications without first consulting your physician. You’re
sleep physician may prescribe a sleeping for the test if deemed
appropriate. ARE OTHERS GOING TO BE
IN THE ROOM OVERNIGHT? Sleep
Technicians will be monitoring you throughout the night from a separate
control room. The technicians are
available to assist you in any way. They may come in to you’re room to adjust
equipment or start treatment. During
sleep, the body functions differently than while awake. WILL I BE REQUIRED TO
GET A FOLLOW-STUDY? It is recommended that
you follow up with you’re sleep physician.
They can monitor you’re response to therapy and keep you up to date
with new treatments. Repeat studies
may be indicated as parts of you’re ongoing care. Will INSURANCE COVER
MY STUDY? Insurance
companies recognize the importance of treating sleep disorders and will
usually cover testing and treatment.
Dream Away Sleep Labs will inform you of any insurance problems prior
to testing.
