Ray:

Daytime sleep studies are not commonplace. The idea is that to "RULE OUT" OSA, the study should include 3am to 6am because that when REM sleep (Deepest sleep and apneas) is most likely to occur.

Some centers do a one hour study during the day. One hour is a no - no.

Yes, talk to your ENT. Also study the forums on this web site to learn more obout OSA, sleep studies and treatments.
