Sleep research recording methods
Published in Philip N. Murphy, The Routledge International Handbook of Psychobiology, 2018
Sleep technologists or technicians prepare patients for sleep evaluations and process the output from overnight records prior to physician interpretation. In the United States, titles for this role are Registered Sleep Technologist (RST) or Registered Polysomnographic Technologist (RPSGT). These highly skilled professionals also commonly hold certification as a Respiratory Therapist and/or EEG Technologist. Significant contributions to sleep research are also made by nurses, nurse practitioners, and other allied healthcare professionals.

Participants completed one night of ambulatory polysomnography recording in their homes with a 25 channel AURA Portable Recording System (Grass Technologies). Polysomnography monitoring involved standard placements (Berry et al., 2018) of the following measures: 10 electroencephalography (F3, F4, C3, C4, O1, O2, M1, M2, ground, reference) electrodes, 2 electro-oculography electrodes, 3 chin electromyography electrodes, respiratory rate via inductance plethysmography (thoracic and chest bands), pulse oximetry and oxygen saturation, electrocardiogram (2 electrodes surrounding the heart), right and left anterior tibialis electromyography, oral-nasal airflow (via thermocouple), and a nasal cannula pressure transducer. Cranial electrodes were placed according to the 10–20 system of the International Federation (Jasper, 1958). Recordings were scored by a registered polysomnographic technologist according to scoring procedures described in the Sleep Heart Health Study (Quan et al., 1997). The following polysomnographic sleep outcomes were computed: SOL, WASO, sleep efficiency, % stage 1, % stage 2, % stage 3, and % rapid eye movement sleep.

Sleep stage and apnoea and hypopnoea events were scored according to the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) manual 2.3 [15]. They were manually scored by technicians in our department and reviewed by a registered polysomnographic technologist.
