 Explore Sleep Disorders Clinic## Preparing for Your Overnight Sleep Study

We perform overnight sleep studies every night of the week. Patients have their own private bedrooms while a specialized sleep technician attends to the sleep study. The laboratory accommodates overnight sleep studies for patients of all ages, from infancy to geriatric patients. We require a parent or guardian to accompany any children age 14 or under.

On the night of your study, report to the Crosstown Building at 801 Massachusetts Avenue (enter at the rear of the building) at 8:00 p.m. and notify the public safety officer that you are here for your test. They will direct you to the waiting area. The sleep lab staff will escort you to the lab.

Parking is available in the Crosstown Center Garage at 7 Melnea Cass Boulevard.

#### What to Bring to Your Sleep Study

- Insurance information
- A list of ALL medications you take
- Any medications you need (including inhalers, Epipen and insulin supplies such as testing kit/glucose tabs)
- Loose fitting, comfortable nightclothes, slippers, and toilet articles

#### How to Prepare for Your Sleep Study

- Eat a good dinner before your test
- Avoid alcohol before the test
- Don't take any naps on the day of your test
