Part Time Sleep Studies involve participating in sleep research or testing in clinical settings, often on a temporary or part-time basis. Sleep Technicians, on the other hand, are trained professionals responsible for conducting sleep studies, monitoring patients, and analyzing data. While both roles are within the sleep industry, Sleep Technicians typically require specific certifications and work in more clinical environments, whereas Part Time Sleep Studies are more research-focused and flexible.

What is a part time sleep study?

A part time sleep study job typically involves working as a sleep technologist or technician in a sleep clinic or laboratory. These professionals monitor and record patients' sleep patterns using specialized equipment, often during overnight shifts. Their responsibilities include preparing patients for sleep studies, attaching monitoring devices, observing patient activity, and collecting data for physicians to diagnose sleep disorders. Working part time means these duties are performed on a reduced schedule, which may appeal to students or those seeking supplemental income.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a part time sleep study technician, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Part Time Sleep Study Technician, you generally need knowledge of sleep disorders, basic medical training, and preferably a credential such as Registered Polysomnographic Technologist (RPSGT) or equivalent. Familiarity with polysomnography equipment, CPAP/BiPAP devices, and sleep study scoring software is typically required. Attention to detail, strong communication skills, and the ability to remain alert and compassionate during overnight shifts help set candidates apart. These competencies are crucial for ensuring accurate data collection, patient comfort, and effective collaboration with sleep specialists.

What are the typical responsibilities for someone working part-time in a sleep study role?

In a part-time sleep study role, you’ll typically be responsible for preparing patients for overnight monitoring, setting up and calibrating polysomnography equipment, and observing patients throughout the study to ensure accurate data collection and safety. You may also score sleep data, assist with patient documentation, and troubleshoot minor technical issues during the study. Collaboration with sleep technologists, physicians, and other healthcare professionals is common, and flexibility with night and weekend shifts is often required.

Job description

The Human Sleep Research Program within SRI’s Center for Health Sciences conducts multidisciplinary research to better understand sleep and its relationship with health and behavior. Our work spans a variety of research areas, including wearable technologies for measuring sleep and physiology, sleep deprivation, women’s health, neuropsychology, and neuroimaging.


This internship offers the opportunity to contribute to multiple human research studies and gain hands-on exposure to a wide range of research methods and technologies. Our studies collect rich, multimodal data including overnight EEG recordings, wearable-derived biosignals such as physical activity and heart rate, cognitive and neuropsychological assessments, clinical and self-report measures, bioassays, and multimodal MRI.  Interns will work alongside an interdisciplinary research team and gain practical experience across different stages of clinical and translational sleep research. The position is particularly well suited for someone interested in gaining broad research experience while contributing to studies with applications to human health and emerging health technologies.

The internship will be on-site in our Menlo Park, CA office.  This is a part-time year round role, 10-20 hours per week.  Candidates must be able to work overnight shifts.


  • Support multiple human sleep research studies conducted within the Human Sleep Research Program.
  • Assist with participant-facing research visits, including overnight, evening, afternoon, and early-morning study procedures.
  • Ability to remain awake, alert, and attentive throughout overnight research shifts.
  • Assist with collection of physiological and behavioral research data, including overnight EEG/sleep recordings, wearable device data, cognitive and neuropsychological assessments, self-report and clinical measures, and bioassays.
  • Support collection of multimodal MRI data and other study-specific procedures as needed.
  • Assist with research data entry, organization, quality control, and preparation for analysis.
  • Contribute to data analysis and visualization projects, potentially including analyses of wearable, sleep, cognitive, physiological, and neuroimaging data.
  • Follow study protocols and research procedures to ensure accurate, consistent, and high-quality data collection.
  • Work collaboratively with research staff across multiple projects and assist with other research activities as needed.

  • Current Bachelors/Masters/PhD student in psychology, neuroscience, biology, cognitive science, or a related field.
  • Candidates must be a US Citizen
  • Interest in sleep research a plus
  • Detail-oriented and good organizational skills are highly desired

The salary range is: $17.55-$23/hr. Salary ranges will vary and are based on several factors, including geographic location, market competitiveness and equity amongst internal employees in similar roles.
