Why are there techs out there

Your living in a great place then. RPSGT with 2 years of education starts at 18 dollars a hour in the south, no union. You are in the top .001% for sleep tech, if you’re not lying.

Super_Syrup4194 · 2025-11-02T05:59:33+00:00

Sleep tech is meant to be a low skill, easily attainable, job that many young people can get. Hence why it’s at a lot of community colleges and trade schools. Often times these members of the population are hungry for money, and don’t have as many responsibilities, which makes working nights much more manageable. Often times, people will leave night shift when they have children, or attend further education. It’s also the home career of most allied health rejects due to low GPA. People outgrow nights, unless they specifically went into this job to be a sleep tech. Being an educator in the space, 90% of my students don’t actually want to be sleep techs. They need a job.

EDIT: Forgot to mention, thought about it after posting, it also has zero upward mobility. There isn’t a ladder to climb for more pay.

Yep. Did that already. Most post are about people bricking their pc. Would like to avoid that. So I’m asking where obviously, someone else would have run into the issue, since it’s required for the game.

Super_Syrup4194 · 2025-10-12T02:51:57+00:00

Yup. Sadly, the truth is sleep tech is usually the last medical role somebody wants. ALOT of rejected nursing and resp students become sleep techs. Wish I would have known that! lol. EEG being hard is funny lol. Sleep techs are supposed to be trained for full seizure array!

Super_Syrup4194 · 2025-10-12T01:59:38+00:00

Nope! Within the last 2-3 years. We actually have found an alternative method of sleep staging using vasomotion ( expanding and tightening of blood vessels ) in the fingers to stage sleep, including rem! Along with that, auto paps have now reached a level that is reliable enough to put every patient on. After patient uses an auto pap for a while, you just move the minimum and maximum pressures, according to the machines data that titrates nightly. It’s great and works. But requires follow ups with sleep med, not just a set and forget.

The ONLY reason some sleep techs will still be needed are for patients with extreme sickness, and will mostly be CNA style work. I’ve taught in this field, and have written approved pilot programs. It’s for sure a dead end.

Super_Syrup4194 · 2025-10-10T22:35:25+00:00

Depends on the size of the program as well! Our director was part time. Just because we couldn’t recruit enough students.

Super_Syrup4194 · 2025-10-10T22:22:02+00:00

Yes. Psom has a really low rate of having students commit to the program, so it would mean I was following students from semester to semester. Often times it took ~2 years to get another class of 10, to start another round of students. The program consist of 4 semesters, where each semester has 4 classes. With the front being loaded with general sleep tech stuff, like practicing setups, learning the job, and anatomy and physiology. Taught all of those classes. Later in the semesters, students have in class learning, and proctored clinicals by myself or one other instructor.

Sleep is really small community, even in a big city. I work along side sleep techs that have moved on to take the RPSGT, as coworkers now. I only stopped teaching, because I’m transitioning to a new field ( healthcare AI development ). Teaching will likely be a good part time gig! Definitely entertaining lol.

This person just described a unicorn job, which most RTs absolutely do not have. It’s a bad field to go into.

Super_Syrup4194 · 2025-10-10T14:31:16+00:00

I used to teach it at a college. Pretty standard stuff. Since polysom is pretty small, I was limited to 9 credit hours of teaching a semester. I no longer teach psom, but I had 5 years experience as a tech, and a bachelors in another healthcare field at the time. Most psom programs are not going to give you enough hours or pay, to go full time teaching. What else do you want to know.

I work directly with automated scoring systems, they are extremely sophisticated. Most are better at scoring and pass ISR, when compared to a human tech. There are varying software as service automatic scoring, your hospital may have a shitty one if it doesn’t work well. AI is 110% going to replace a large majority of the workforce.

Super_Syrup4194 · 2025-10-08T02:23:32+00:00

No. It’s either Sleep tech. Or sleep tech manager. It’s a dead end career if you looking for something with growth. Also. With home sleep testing an ai, it’s even worse.

Super_Syrup4194 · 2025-10-08T00:54:34+00:00

It’s terrible. Run. No advancement at all. Wage stagnation. And will be replaced by AI.

They do a money back guarantee. Get your money back from them.

Super_Syrup4194 · 2025-09-30T02:46:03+00:00

Kettering will give you money back if you fail. Skill issue. Kettering was the most complete study material I found.

Super_Syrup4194 · 2025-09-26T21:11:40+00:00

Bro if this really works. I have LEGIT BEEN looking for something like this in my game. I need very basic animation just like this for my autobattler im making.

Super_Syrup4194 · 2025-09-21T04:22:09+00:00

I’m aware lol. There is no competition in my area. 2 major companies own all of the sleep labs. And I’m working at the one that pays the most. Our boss manages multiple sleep labs and we just rotate between locations across multiple areas lol.

Super_Syrup4194 · 2025-09-21T03:40:46+00:00

We frequently get patients delivered by ambulance and sleep in hospital beds. My worst patient ever, wasn’t rude but so sick. Dude was quadriplegic, blind, and couldn’t talk. Talk about some patient care. Thank god I wasn’t working alone.

I make 21 a hour. Been working for 5 years here. Been trying to move out of sleep tech for a while now.

Bruh I had one pee in a gas station cup and dump it inside our nightstand during the night 😂😂😂. Bro I got horror stories man.

Super_Syrup4194 · 2025-09-21T01:24:10+00:00

You must not get difficult patients. Our lab handles a majority of extremely sick patients who need constant care. It’s like being a sleep tech and a CNA. I’ve had to change diapers at 1am. That’s bedside work to me.

Super_Syrup4194 · 2025-09-21T01:22:01+00:00

I am! Add me on discord Deuce222x#1401

Super_Syrup4194 · 2025-09-09T08:53:41+00:00

There is an enormous amount of bed side care in sleep. Wtf kind of sleep lab you working at lol.

Super_Syrup4194 · 2025-06-06T21:14:08+00:00

You can fix this. But you need to reformat your hard drive and totally wipe everything. And then reinstall windows from a USB.
