Professional Aspirations:  What A Sleep Technologist Does

A sleep technologist is the medical professional responsible for performing many types of diagnostic tests, commonly known as “sleep studies”.  The majority of these studies are performed in an overnight setting with the sleep technologist completing two studies per shift.  Certain studies are performed during the day and deal with excessive daytime sleepiness and possibly shift workers. The sleep technologist is responsible for:

  • Greeting the patients and getting them settled in
  • Taking patient vitals and various clinical activities
  • Answering questions about the study itself,
  • Preparing the patient for the study through the application of electrodes and other medical measuring equipment to various parts of the body
  • Reviewing and charting the progress of the study throughout the night.
  • Caring for the patient while the study is being performed including any emergency intervention that may be necessary.

This environment provides a safer alternative in healthcare as the process is completely non-invasive to the patient.  The work night is a 10 hour shift starting at 8pm and ending at 6am.  Full-time employment holds a requirement of 4 shifts each week with 8 shifts completed in each biweekly pay period.  Per-diem overnight technologist opportunities may be available only to registered or registry-eligible technologists with at least 2 years of sleep experience.  Remote scoring opportunities may be available to registered technologists with at least 3 years of experience in scoring sleep studies.

The Setting

SleepTech is a nationwide leader when it comes to partnership services in sleep medicine.  Our partner centers are designed with the patient in mind, creating a hotel-like atmosphere instead of a cold, sterile medical environment.  We work extensively with both hospitals and physician groups to create a warm and non-threatening environment to achieve the most robust results possible from each individual study.  Our sleep technologists work with some of the most reliable and well-tested diagnostic equipment on the market.  They are extensively trained on all components and feel comfortable in each of the centers they work in.  Each technologist is dedicated to multiple centers for the greatest exposure to various disorders and the best use of our workforce. 

The Requirements

At SleepTech, we don’t have the “tunnel vision” approach that most other sleep medicine specialists do.  We are willing to train medical professionals that have a strong desire to work as sleep technologists.  There are a few requirements for eligibility to be considered for a position.

In positions like remote scoring or per-diem technologist, prior experience and registration may be necessary as outlined above.
