Your Visit

When and where do I go for the test?
Please arrive at 8:00 PM at our facility, located at 1539 Atwood Avenue, Suite #302, Johnston, RI. You may park in the back parking lot and use the rear entrance. Proceed through two sets of doors and use the buzzer and intercom on the wall to inform the technician that you are here for a “sleep study.” After you are buzzed in, take the elevator to the third floor.

Visits are scheduled on regular intervals so we need your cooperation to insure adequate preparation time for your study. If you anticipate being late, please notify us at (401) 351-2747.

What if I cannot keep my scheduled appointment?
There is a long waiting list for patients to undergo sleep testing, and a technician is scheduled to work specifically for your test.  We will usually remind you three days in advance of your appointment.  Please call back to confirm or to reschedule/cancel.  If you must cancel or reschedule, we require notification at least 48 hours prior to your study. You may notify us by calling the Sleep Lab at (401) 351-2747.

What should I bring?
Bring all of your usual toiletry items (toothbrush, toothpaste, comb, brush, etc.) and a change of clothes (if desired) for the next day. Feel free to bring pillows or other objects that will help you to sleep more comfortably. You must bring pajamas, gowns, or night clothes (shorts, scrubs, tee shirts or sweats), a bathrobe, and socks or slippers. Also, bring something to read or work on during the non-sleep period.

How should I prepare for the test?
We recommend no naps and no caffeine during the day of your test. Try to eat your evening meal early, as some foods may affect your sleep. If you exercise on the day of the test, try to do it early in the day. Please do not use hair spray or hair gel on the day of the study.

Bring all of your usual medications and check with your physician if medication adjustments are needed for the test. If you are on oxygen at home, please notify the Sleep Lab prior to your study.

If you have any other special requirements, call the Sleep Lab before your study.
