You need a referral from your family doctor or nurse practitioner.
Please report at your designated arrival time. Arrival times are staggered every 10 minutes beginning at 8:00 p.m.. Ring the doorbell to the right side of the main entrance door when you arrive. The tech will then show you to your private bedroom where you will stay for the night.
Free parking is available all around the building.
The technologist will spend approximately 30-45 minutes attaching the monitoring equipment to you using glues and tape so that we can measure your heart, breathing, and sleep patterns. There is no pain involved. After the monitors are attached, you may have some time to relax or watch TV prior to going to bed.
Should you need a bathroom break during the night, simply tell your technologist - it is easy to disconnect you temporarily.
We will observe your sleep continuously during your test.
When the test finishes in the morning at approximately 5:30 a.m. the tech will wake you up to prepare for going home. Please let your tech know if you plan to shower here. A gentle note - remember that your technologist has been up all night and would like to go home to sleep :)
We want you to be comfortable. You can bring in your 2 piece pajamas or T-shirt and shorts/jogging pants (loose enough to raise up to your knee). You may bring reading material or a music player (headphones required) and any medical aids such as walkers, hearing aids etc. Please note there is no Wi-Fi available for media devices. Please bring a list of all of the medications that you take. Also bring the necessary medications you would normally take at night and in the morning.
***YOU NEED TO BRING A VALID HEALTH CARD***
Follow your usual routine. Take your medication as usual unless we have told you otherwise. You may have coffee, tea, and other beverages as you usually do.
After the test, data analysis is done on each 30 second period of sleep. The data is analyzed by our technologists and a report is prepared by our Doctor. If your symptoms or health changes within 14 days of your sleep study, please notify the sleep clinic office as soon as possible.
Your doctor will be sent the results once the study has been 'scored' and then reviewed by the sleep clinic doctor.
If a consultation with the sleep clinic doctor has been requested for you by your doctor, this will be booked based on the severity of the sleep study findings so that patients with the most severe problems can be seen first.
The Sleep Clinic requires a minimum of 2 business days notice. If your symptoms or health change prior to your appointment, please notify the sleep clinic office as soon as possible.
NOTE: If you do not show up for your appointment without having provided prior notice, a fee of $250 will be charged.
