A typical shift for a Sleep Nurse often includes monitoring patients undergoing sleep studies, overseeing the proper use of sleep monitoring equipment, and recording observations throughout the night. Sleep Nurses primarily care for patients with suspected or diagnosed sleep disorders such as sleep apnea, insomnia, or narcolepsy, working in specialty sleep centers, hospitals, or outpatient clinics. Responsibilities also include patient education about sleep hygiene, equipment usage, and follow-up care after sleep studies. The role often requires collaboration with sleep technologists, respiratory therapists, and sleep medicine physicians to deliver comprehensive care and develop individualized treatment plans.
