Obtaining Your Study Results

Welcome to LUNA Sleep Centers!

Proper interpretation of your sleep study requires extensive data review. Over the course of the evening, approximately 900 pages of data are generated for analysis. A qualified sleep technologist will score your test data, and a designated LUNA Sleep Center physician with expertise in clinical sleep physiology will interpret the results. In general, your results will be forwarded to the doctor who ordered your sleep study within a couple of days.

In general, your results will be forwarded to the doctor who ordered your sleep study within a couple of days.

If your sleep data shows that you have sleep apnea (interruptions of breathing during sleep), and you were not started on CPAP therapy during your first study, then you will receive a telephone call from a representative of the LUNA Sleep Center. This representative will explain to you that your first study shows that you have sleep apnea. They will then schedule a second overnight sleep study called a CPAP titration study for you. (Please see “CPAP Titration” below.)

If you were started on a CPAP system during your first sleep study, and your doctor has determined that CPAP is right for you, then he will prescribe a CPAP device. If you were seen by a LUNA Sleep Center physician, the CPAP ordering and follow-up care will be arranged by the LUNA Sleep Center. (Please see the “CPAP Set-up” page

If your study does not show any disturbance of breathing during sleep, then you will need to review the test results with our doctor and discuss the next steps in diagnosing or treating your sleep problem.
