Before this test
This is general information about how the exam is usually done, not medical advice for you or your family member. Requirements vary by center and by individual health history — always follow the center's own instructions and your own doctor's guidance, especially for any medicine change.
Usually involves wearing small sensors that track breathing and heartbeat overnight, often at home, for one or more nights; alcohol and caffeine are usually avoided beforehand.
Mention when booking: Mention any sleeping pills or other regular medicines and how much alcohol you usually drink, since these can affect sleep during the test; ask the prescribing doctor before changing any medicine.
