sleep technologists

Sleep technologists are healthcare professionals who specialize in assessing and diagnosing sleep disorders. They conduct sleep studies, known as polysomnography, by monitoring patients' brain activity, eye movements, heart rate, and breathing patterns while they sleep. These studies help identify issues like sleep apnea, insomnia, or restless leg syndrome. Sleep technologists prepare patients, operate specialized equipment, and ensure accurate data collection. They also collaborate with sleep physicians to interpret results and develop appropriate treatment plans, ultimately improving patients' quality of life through better sleep health.
