FAQ
- What are all of those wires I am sleeping with?
To measure brain waves, heart rate, eye movements, electrodes are placed on the head, face, chest, legs and under the chin. A cannula is placed under the nose and a sensor is placed near the mouth to monitor a patient’s oral/nasal breathing. Bands (Effort Sensors) are placed around the rib cage and abdomen to measure breathing movements, and a small device is placed on your finger which measures blood oxygen levels.
All of these sensors are non-invasive and allow you to turn and move as you normally do while sleeping. Equipment and technicians remain in a separate room for your comfort and privacy. During the night, the sensors relay signals to a central control room where diagnostic equipment is located.



In preparation for the sleep study a technician hooks a series of electrodes to your body used to monitor the patient throughout the night.
