There has been an increasing incidence of sleep problems in the country that there is a growing need for certified sleep technicians to deal with this matter. There are patients reporting problems with dreams and nightmares.

In May, five students managed to finish an 80-hour long, ten session course titled “Sleep Technician Basic Training” at the Illinois Valley Community College.

Sleep Health Management Resources consultant Raymond Gamble, the teacher of the course, has successfully trained the students to be where they are now and stresses that there’s a growing need for people in this field.

Students aiming to become polysomnographic technologists may get between $30,000 and $50,000 annually, depending on what establishment they are employed.

Gamble has been in the sleep study field for nearly two decades and a technician for eleven years. He is currently managing a sleep center.
