Don’t let the fact of so many attachments of equipment scare you. Surprisingly, it
has not proven to make it difficult to sleep and the tests to go forward.
Once you are changed and ready to get into bed, you will have electrodes placed
in specific areas. They are applied with easily removed glue and tape. These
record brain waves, muscle movement, eye movement during sleep and other
factors. A microphone will be attached to your neck to record snoring or other
sounds you make while sleeping.
Despite the fact that you will be observed on a television monitor while you sleep,
after the lights go out, very few patients say they have trouble falling asleep.
In the morning when you are awakened, all the equipment is removed. Then you
will go and make an appointment with a sleep specialist to review the results of
your tests.
Based on the results, and with the help of your sleep specialist or doctor,
treatment will be recommended. It depends on the type of disorder you are
having, but there are many solutions.

with other drugs or chemicals in the body.
