Yes, any child under the age of 18 years old must have a parent or guardian present. The parent or guardian can sleep on a recliner provided in the sleep room. We do not allow the parent or guardian to sleep in the bed with the patient. This will affect the quality of the patients sleep and results from the study. We also ask that parents/guardians make arrangement for siblings to be cared for, we can’t accommodate having them stay.
Studies on children have earlier start times; please make sure you speak to our staff to get your arrival time.
