What is a Sleep Scoring Tech?

A Sleep Scoring Tech, also known as a sleep technologist or polysomnographic technologist, is a healthcare professional who analyzes data collected during sleep studies. They review physiological signals recorded overnight—such as brain waves, breathing patterns, heart rate, and muscle activity—to score and classify different stages of sleep and detect sleep disorders. Their work is essential for diagnosing conditions like sleep apnea, insomnia, and narcolepsy, and they often collaborate with sleep physicians to ensure accurate results. Sleep Scoring Techs typically work in sleep centers, hospitals, or clinics specializing in sleep medicine.
