Electroencephalogram (EEG)

What's An EEG?

An EEG is a test that measures and records the electrical activity of your brain. It’s used to diagnose seizure disorders, such as epilepsy

When you arrive for your sleep study, a Registered Polysomnographic Technologist or Respiratory Therapist will be at the site to greet you and show you to your room. After you make yourself comfortable, your technologist will take a brief history, explain the study process, and answer any questions you may have prior to applying the sensors. This process is completely painless and generally takes about 40 minutes to make sure everything is placed correctly. 

What to Expect?

Preparing for Your Sleep Test

Sleep Insights offers a relaxing environment with private, hotel-like rooms and at certain locations, a shower may be available.

Set Time Aside

Plan to be at our sleep center for approximately 2-3 hours.

Wash and Dry Your Hair

Wash and dry your hair thoroughly but do not use conditioners or other hair products.

Hair Accessories

Remove any hair weaves or extensions. We cannot do testing if you have either of these.

What Should I Wear?

Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing to relax in throughout the duration of your test.

Medications

Bring – and take – all of your normally scheduled medications unless otherwise directed by your doctor or the staff at Sleep Insights.

Special Requirements and Guests

Guests are not allowed to stay overnight with patients other than for specific medical reasons (e.g. parent with a child, caregiver for patient with special needs). Arrangements for caretakers must be made with advanced notice and with prior permission from their provider. Anyone accompanying a patient to their sleep test who isn’t an approved caretaker must remain in the waiting room.

Smoking

Smoking, vaping and the use of alcohol are not permitted in the building or on the premises at any time.

No-Show

Cancellations must be made by at least 12 noon the day before your study, or if your study is on a Saturday or Sunday, by noon on the Friday before.

Failure to show up for your scheduled sleep study will result in a $100.00 no-show charge.
