During Your Overnight Study

When you arrive at our Houston sleep center location for your study, you will be greeted by your sleep tech, who will be happy to answer any questions you may have. You will receive a private room decorated to feel like a non-medical environment at the sleep center. Each room has a queen size Select Comfort Sleep Number™ bed so that you can adjust it to your ideal comfort.

Once you are ready for the test, the tech will apply the electrodes. These electrodes do not restrict you from sleeping or moving about. You can get up to go to the restroom during the test. The sleep tech will instruct you on how to do this without disrupting the electrodes. There are no needles and no pain. Once the monitoring equipment is configured, you just lay back, relax and sleep. We’ll take care of the rest. Sleep tight, and we’ll see you in the morning!
