Sleep Diagnostic Program: Should I take my medication?
It is important for your sleep study technologist to know if you are taking any regularly prescribed or over-the-counter medication(s). Certain medications can affect sleep and the interpretation of your sleep study. Sometimes specific medications are gradually discontinued during the weeks prior to the sleep study in order for it to be interpreted correctly.
It is important that you discuss your medications with your doctor before your sleep study. Do not discontinue any prescription medications without first talking with your doctor.
