Join us October 19–25, 2025, as we celebrate Sleep Technologists Appreciation Week (STAW)—a time to recognize the dedication, skill, and compassion of sleep technologists everywhere.
This annual celebration, organized by the American Association of Sleep Technologists (AAST), honors the professionals who play a vital role in diagnosing and treating sleep disorders, improving patient outcomes, and advancing the field of sleep medicine.
At BRPT, we’re proud to support and recognize the technologists who hold our credentials and contribute every day to safe, effective, and compassionate patient care.
